| Puppy Safety Issues Hi Everyone, I've been doing some puppy research and came across a pretty scary issue. In short, something called "contact voltage" can electrically shock or electrocute our dogs while they're out on walks! It's kind of a complex issue, but I definitely recommend checking it out to become aware of this safety issue. CVIC | CONTACT VOLTAGE INFORMATION CENTER June & Mimi |

| OMG!!!! This is crazy!!!! I walk Mocha every day and he marks many of the danger areas. Thank you so much for sharing. Mocha is staying away from all those places from now on. |

| Thanks for the information!! Scary thought to have next time you go for a simple walk or out shopping. This thread is an example of why I like YT.

| Marking danger areas can definitely turn out badly...and deadly from what I understand! Definitely be careful. Apparently this contact voltage can hurt people too, and many have been hurt or died from it, so I now find myself watching everywhere I touch or step on the street with or without my dog!
