Close containers and remember to cut potato chip bags, etc., in half.

Sadly, this beautiful cat suffocated in a plastic IRIS USA Dog Food Storage Container on August 6th. Cari Corr writes, "My cat Peach opened the food storage bin herself, crawled in, and the top shut on her. The bin was airtight so she suffocated to death. My 17 year old daughter who has autism found her there, dead. Rest in Peace my sweet Peach. You were my heart. You can now have all of the Churus your heart desires. No more hunger from exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. We will miss your snuggles and cuddles so very much. The house is so weird without you. Friends, Peach suffocated to death because she was able to lift the lid on a food storage bin and climb in. The lid shut on her, and the bin was airtight. These storage containers are deadly. She isn’t the first to suffer this fate. Please please please secure the tops on your food storage bins."

Prevent Pet Suffocation has received several reports from devastated pet owners over the years of pets, primarily cats, getting trapped and suffocating in plastic containers designed to hold pet food and/or pet litter. Prevent Pet Suffocation teamed up with Center For Pet Safety (CPS) to determine if there are pet food/pet litter containers on the market that reduced or eliminated the possibility of suffocation-related deaths. Please read the report here:

Cats love to get into tight enclosed places. We remind everyone to keep all containers, appliance doors, pantry doors, and closet doors tightly closed. Keep food bags and containers off high shelves and appliances that cats can easily reach by jumping. By bringing more awareness to the pet suffocation risks of these types of containers, we hope to help owners keep their pets safer from suffocation risks they may not be aware of. Please share in memory of sweet Peach, gone too soon. Thank you.
