Protect your pet at home
According to the American SPCA, many common house hold items can poison your pets.
Many foods that are perfectly safe for humans could be harmful or potentially deadly to dogs and cats. To be safe, keep the following food items out of your pet's menu:
coffee grounds, grapes/raisins,
chocolate, onions,
yeast dough, tea,
macadamia nuts, alcohol,
fatty foods, salt,
avocado, garlic,
chewing gum, candy and breath fresheners containing xylitol.
Always keep garbage out of a pet's reach, as rotting food contains molds or bacteria that could produce food poisoning. Products containing bleach can safely disinfect many household surfaces when used properly, but can cause stomach upset, drooling, vomiting or diarrhea, severe burns if swallowed and respiratory tract irritation can occur if inhaled in a high enough concentration. In addition, skin contact with concentrated solutions may produce serious chemical burns. Some detergents can produce a similar reaction, and cats can be particularly sensitive to certain ingredients such as phenols.
