If your dog is enjoying time with you right now on the couch, there’s a very good chance that you and your dog are being exposed to dangerous chemical flame retardants which have been linked to cancer, reproductive and endocrine system problems and lower IQs in children.

Flame retardants are chemicals meant to save human lives by delaying the combustion of products in a fire. They are widely used in a broad range of products from children’s cribs, furniture, electronics and building insulation.

I worry about this issue enough to have never asked my landlord for new carpeting. and when I bought a new couch 4 years ago I immediately covered it with throws and blankets, and kept it that way.
