Therefore, it is imperative to provide fire safety to your beloved furry friend by following the precautions and fireproofing your house. This blog shares important safety tips that can help you protect your pet and yourself during a fire accident in your house. Take a look:

  5. 4. Install monitored smoke detectors If your house is still not equipped with a monitored smoke detector or if they are not in a working condition then make sure to install one or fix them. These gadgets are linked to a monitoring center and connect with emergency responders during a fire while you are away from home.

  6. 5. Keep dangers away When you have pets at home, being extra conscious of open flames is crucial. In addition, the biggest fire risks at homes are caused due to candles, stovetops, and fireplaces so ensure you keep them out of your pet's reach. Make sure to remove the stove knobs when you're not home to prevent any accidents.

  7. Things to keep in mind • Ensure each member of the family memorizes the emergency responder’s contact. • Decide the safest escape routes in the house in advance. • Check and fix your home’s fire alarms and set a calendar to check them annually. • Place or hang a pet alert on your front door or window and mention the number of pets you have. • Closely watch your pet after a successful escape from the fire to check if they need vet assistance or treatment.

  8. To sum up So there you have them. These tips can help you keep your pet protected when a disaster strikes. If you are prepared before the tragedy hits, you can get away from the situation while keeping your beloved animal safe.
