Neoenergia Brasília issues electrical safety warnings for pet owners

Neoenergia Brasília has issued safety warnings for households with pets to prevent electrical accidents. The distributor highlighted that curious dogs and cats may bite wires, tangle themselves in extensions, or play near active equipment, leading to risks such as electric shocks, burns, and short circuits.

To mitigate these dangers, the company recommends keeping wires organized and out of reach using protective conduits, disconnecting appliances when not in use, and performing periodic inspections of wiring. For homes with puppies, the use of safety outlet covers is advised. In the event of an accident, owners should immediately turn off the circuit breaker and seek medical assistance.
