Dogs can accidentally start fires by knocking over candles or turning on stove knobs. Use flameless candles as a safer alternative and consider protective covers for stove controls. Always monitor open flames and ensure your home is equipped with working smoke detectors.

Extreme temperatures can be harmful to dogs. Make sure your home is a comfortable temperature through proper heating and cooling. Be mindful of the risk of heatstroke or hypothermia if your dog is exposed to extreme conditions.
