Pet-Safe Floor Cleaners: Keep Your Home Clean & Your Pets Safe
Most pet owners know that chocolate is dangerous for dogs—who could forget that classic OREO commercial? But did you know that many everyday household ingredients can be harmful or even fatal to your furry friends?
Common Causes of Pet Poisoning
According to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center, over 300,000 cases of pet poisoning are reported every year. The top culprits include:
- Human Medications – Over-the-counter and prescription drugs can be toxic to pets, even in small amounts.
- Insecticides – Pesticides, flea treatments, and bug sprays can pose serious health risks.
- Human Foods – Chocolate, grapes, onions, xylitol, and many other common foods can be deadly for pets.
- Rodenticides – Rat and mouse poisons are highly toxic to pets if ingested.
- Veterinary Medicines (Given Incorrectly) – Administering the wrong dose or type of medication can be dangerous.
- Toxic Plants – Many household and garden plants, like lilies and sago palms, are poisonous to pets.
- Chemicals – Antifreeze, pool chemicals, and other household substances can be fatal.
- Household Cleaners – Products containing bleach, ammonia, or harsh detergents can be harmful if inhaled or ingested.
- Heavy Metals – Lead paint chips, linoleum, and certain toys may contain toxic metals.
- Fertilizers – Lawn and garden fertilizers often contain chemicals that are hazardous to pets.
