We love our pets like our children, yet sometimes we forget to treat them like children. Like babies, they're curious little beings and they will eat almost anything. Accidental poisonings can have tragic consequences, so guard against ingestion of these dangerous substances: Garden Supplies: insecticides, fertilizers, snail bait, or herbicides Poisonous Plants: many plants in live and dried form are toxic. Check with a nursery or plant reference guide to see if your pet is at risk. Pennies: Some pennies contain zinc, which cause vomiting, anemia, and even death if ingested. Foods: Antifreeze: has a sweet taste to dogs and cats, and they may lick it off the ground. As little as one teaspoonful can cause kidney damage and lead to death in a small dog or cat Medications: IF YOUR PET INGESTS THESE OR ANY OTHER TOXIC SUBSTANCES, CALL US OR COME IN! |
