micro chip your pets.

Micro chip your pets. 
This is security for your pets if they get lost or are stolen.
Most pets have micro chips already implanted but you have to register them with information
on present address plus include your veterinarian address and phone. 
Check with your vet if he has a micro chip scanner. 
Some animal shelters now have them.
It wouldn't hurt to call your local shelters to find out which ones have these scanners.
Do this just in case something does happen.
Police department across the country have been known to pickup strays in their house calls or just out on the road.  They might have scanners available for them to get an address information.
So check with your local police to see if they do scanners on strays.

You can also put a collar on your pets with an address on it along with your name or just put the address of your veterinarian  make sure you call and ask first if he will except being called in case of an emergence.  
These two examples will protect your dog or pets from getting lost.   But will be of help to those that find your pets wondering on the roads or streets alone.
This all adds up to precautions on being safe for any pets.

Smoke detector for carbon monoxide alarm.

Smoke detector for carbon monoxide alarm.
First Alert Smoke and Carbon Monoxide Alarm - SC01CN3

This is very a  important purchase.  If you want safety for your family and pets. Please buy one.
Make sure your detector it is in working condition.
Some who have had detectors for like 5 to 10 years may need to be replace.
Smoke detectors batteries need to be checked periodical and replaced for safety reasons.

College students living off campus or in a dorm room need a detector.
You just never know.  Pack one into to your college students pack.  Always make sure there are working detectors within their dorms.  When renting off campus some apartments do not check their detector or not even have one.
Just to be  on the safe side pack a smoke detector.

Safety first for your pets. Notify your local fire department that you have a pet in the house.
Another good idea is to put a label or sticker on your exterior window were your pet is located.
These are just a few ideas for prevention and safety for the whole family.
Check those batteries....
