Avoiding Common Household Poisons, Part One – Cleaning Products

0

by Sandra Yvonne Duke
Keep an eye on your clean products for your pets sake.

Cleaning products, foods, plants, and other common household chemicals can be poisonous to your dog.

Cleaning products.
All cleaning products should be kept out of reach of pets, but some can be accessed in ways you might not think about. Few people know it, but dish soap is poisonous to people and pets. Dish soap is, in fact, the most common cause of household poisoning. Don’t let your dog drink dishwater out of the sink. Toilet water can be poisonous due to residues from cleaners and, of course, in-tank tablets. Floor cleaners are particularly dangerous. After cleaning floors the residue can absorb through dogs paws or be licked off. Poisoning from floor cleaner residues can cause damage to internal organs and death. Vinegar is a safe alternative to floor cleaner.

Devoted pet owner and now, devoted pet editor, Judi worked in traditional offices, keeping the books and the day-to-day operations organized. Taking her dog to work every day for over a decade never seemed odd. Neither did having an office cat. She knows what it's like to train a new puppy and she's experienced the heartache of losing beloved companions. Retired, she currently lives with her spoiled dog and four chickens (who are, interestingly enough, also spoiled).
