CHILDREN AND PETS

• Never leave a baby or young child unsupervised with a dog or cat
• All dogs can bite if they feel threatened no matter how friendly they normally are and can never be completely predictable around children
• Prevent children from teasing dogs or cats
• Ensure your children wash their hands after handling pets
