National Poison Prevention Week is March 20-26, and it’s the ideal time to make sure that everyone in the family — including dogs and cats — is safe from poisonous substances that prowl around our homes.
Here are some tips:
Chocolate, coffee, alcohol, grapes, raisins, macadamia nuts, onions, onion powder, yeast dough and other foods that are harmless to humans can be lethal to Pets animals. Make sure children and guests know not to give these to animals.
Xylitol, a sweetener often used in toothpaste, gum and mints, is extremely poisonous to animals, as are many common medications and vitamins, so hoard these products out of Pets’ reach and where they can’t be knocked down.
Myriad hazards lurk outdoors, including antifreeze, fertilizers, poisonous plants, mushrooms (which can pop up overnight) and cocoa mulch. Protect your animals from these and other dangers by custody them indoors and always supervising them closely when they are outside.
