There are lots of pet poisons and toxins, including ones that are familiar as common household products.
Even products that taste bad can be appealing to your furry friends. Cleaning chemicals, glue, and other substances may have a nasty smell, but still draw pets to taste them because of their texture.
Some substances, like glue, can cause an internal blockage. Others contain dangerous chemicals that are poisonous.
For example, cannabis poisoning in dogs is common and can leave your furry friend having an extreme reaction, including vomiting and tremors.
Make sure to keep your pets away from outdoor products as well, like fertilizers. Some fertilizers contain blood or bone meal, which might be attractive to a pet. However, consuming them can lead to a blockage or cause serious issues like pancreatitis.
