🎒 After school, many kids drop their backpacks on the floor—right at pet level! Some dogs can unzip bags to explore the contents.

To keep curious pets safe:
✅ Hang backpacks out of reach (hooks/closets)
🧠 Be mindful of what’s packed inside!
⚠️ Common backpack dangers for pets:
• Sugar-free gum (xylitol = toxic)
• Homemade slime
• Medications (OTC & prescription)
• Hand sanitizer
• Lunch box foods like grapes, raisins, chocolate, & macadamia nuts
