POISON PREVENTION: Many of us take for granted our pets will not bother with the simple things we have lying around the house, such as house plants. Some house plants can be quite harmful if ingested by a dog. For instance, some plants and flowers can cause kidney failure and death, chewing on some plants may result in severe irritation to the mouth and throat, and others may cause severe intestinal upsets. Knowing the names of all your indoor and outdoor plants and their toxicity to dogs can keep pet owners from incurring substantial veterinary bills.
ANTIFREEZE AND WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUIDS: Are a major cause of kidney failure among dogs and cats. Both are extremely harmful, if not fatal; the fluid is sweet and it attracts their tastebuds. Dogs should not be allowed near a vehicle while these fluids, and other fluids, such as motor oil, are being used.
