In this practical guide from First Aid for Life, Emma Hammett explains how to create a garden that is both enjoyable and safe for pets. The video highlights common outdoor hazards, including toxic plants, unsafe fencing and hidden escape routes, and offers clear advice on how to reduce risks. From choosing pet friendly planting to ensuring boundaries are secure, the focus is on prevention and awareness. Designed to complement the organisation’s wider first aid training, the film encourages responsible pet ownership and simple steps that can help keep animals safe at home.
