Hazards For Pets During Winter

It is the law in California that your residence has a carbon monoxide monitoring device.  If your furnace is not working, we often have to use portable devices to keep warm.  Gas or kerosene space heaters can emit carbon monoxide into the air (make sure these types of space heaters are working properly and vent them if necessary); never use charcoal briquettes inside your home to keep warm.  If you keep your pets in the garage never leave a car running whenever they are inside the garage.  Carbon monoxide not only kills people it will kill our pets as well.
