Be Pet Safe
Important Safety Information for Pet Owners
At Quiker, the safety of your pets and your family is our top priority. Please read the following safety warnings carefully to ensure the well-being of both animals and humans when using our pet products, particularly those involving balls and similar toys.
General Safety Guidelines
- Supervision Required: Always supervise your pet while they are using any toys or products. This is especially important for interactive toys and balls, as pets can sometimes chew or ingest parts that may pose a choking hazard.
- Age and Size Appropriateness: Ensure that the product is suitable for your pet’s age, size, and breed. Products designed for larger animals may pose a choking hazard for smaller pets, and vice versa.
- Assess Play Style: Different pets have different play styles. Some may be aggressive chewers, while others prefer gentle play. Understanding your pet's behavior is essential in selecting appropriate toys.
- Regular Inspection: Frequently inspect toys and products for signs of wear and tear. Discard any items that are damaged, broken, or have small parts that could be swallowed.
- Allergies: it is import to consider any specific allergies you or your pet may have. Any signs of an allergic reaction, discontinue use immediately and consult a doctor/veterinarian.
Specific Warnings for Ball Toys
- Choking Hazard: Balls and similar toys can pose a choking hazard, especially if they are too small for your pet. Always choose a ball that is appropriately sized for your pet to prevent accidental swallowing.
- Avoiding Hard Surfaces: When playing with balls, avoid hard surfaces that could cause injury to your pet’s teeth or jaws. Soft, grassy areas are ideal for playtime.
- Fetch Safety: When playing fetch, ensure that the area is free of obstacles and hazards. Be cautious of other animals or people in the vicinity to prevent accidents.
- Water Safety: If using balls in or around water, ensure your pet is a competent swimmer. Always supervise your pet near water to prevent drowning or exhaustion.
Human Safety Considerations
- Keep Out of Reach: Store pet toys and products out of reach of young children to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.
- Educate Family Members: Ensure that all family members understand the importance of supervising pets during playtime and the potential hazards associated with pet products.
- First Aid Preparedness: Familiarise yourself with basic first aid for pets and humans in case of an accident. Keep emergency contact information for your veterinarian and local pet taxis readily available.
- Fire: Keep all products away from fires or other sources of ignition.
