Pets
and poisons
Thousands of animals are accidentally poisoned every year. How would you know if your dog or puppy was poisoned and what would you do. If your pet got into some of your medicine...or chewed on the leaves of a poisonous plant...or drank something harmful found in your garage, garden or home?
Florida Poison Control Center/Tampa handles many calls about pets exposed to potential poisons or harmful substances. Just like people, pets can be protected to prevent accidental poisonings. Your home and your pet’s world can be safe and healthy. Look closely at the places your pet wanders in your home. With a systematic approach, take time to safeguard against poisonings by keeping products that could be harmful out of reach.
Examples: medications, cleaning products, household plants, chocolate, nicotine/tobacco, mothballs, batteries, antifreeze, windshield washer fluid, paint, pesticides, flea powders.
Animals do not always know when something is bad for them.
It is up to us to provide a safe environment for them.
