Pets

Please be careful when throwing out jars and containers...

Close all jars and containers before discarding in trash! Pets and animals can suffocate and do all to often. Please be mindful!

Please be careful to screw container tops and lids on plastic and glass jars before discarded in trash! Pets and animals alike can get their head stuck and won’t be able to pull the container off and suffocate! It only takes a second to do and will save animals! This very thing happened to my dog and luckily we found her in time to get the container off!
