Often items can be knocked over by a pet and eaten before anyone notices. Always take care to place medicine and other chemicals out of the reach and in an area that your pets can’t accidentally knock over. Many over the counter pain relievers are toxic to pets and dogs can’t metabolize even small amounts and the result is poison to your dog. Chocolate is toxic to dogs and causes vomiting diarrhea, abnormal heart rhythms, dehydration, hyperactivity and seizures.
Other toxic items in the home include rodent poisons, household chemicals such as bleach and toiletries. Several household plants are toxic to pets such as amaryllises, azaleas, hyacinths, lilies and poinsettias. Dogs are often attracted to antifreeze because of its sweet taste. all spills and leaks should be cleaned before your pet has a chance to lick and eat the poisons.
Provide your dog with plush dog toys to keep her entertained as you keep dangerous items out of their reach. We all want our pets to be safe and contented.
