Household Poisons
Many toxic products are labeled with warnings. Nevertheless, the toxicity of other products may not be immediately apparent, and your pet does not necessarily have to eat or drink something to ingest it; when grooming, your pet will swallow anything on his/her paws or body. Furthermore, some toxins can be absorbed directly through the skin or gums and still cause serious problems. If you don'¹ know if a product is safe, treat it as a potential poison. Store it in a tightly sealed container in a securely closed cabinet, preferably out of reach of your pet and children. Signs of poisoning in your pet include: drooling, vomiting, diarrhea, difficult or rapid breathing, changes in drinking or eating habits, lethargy, and neurological symptoms such as convulsions, loss of coordination, disorientation or coma. If your pet exhibits any of these symptoms, try to determine exactly what substance he/she ingested. Call your veterinarian  immediately, with the product container on hand, and take along with you to the vet.
The following list includes common household items that must be kept out of the reach of your pets and children.
