Human Foods can cause everything from nausea and vomiting to tremors and liver failure. Here are some of the more common items:

Common pain relievers like Ibuprofen and Acetometaphine, as well as Anti-depressants, and so many more medicines, can harm your pet!

Common human drugs can cause serious harm to your pets when ingested. Everything from intestinal ulcers to kidney disease, and neurological problems. Human medications in combination with pet medication can cause adverse effects. 

If your pet has ingested any human medications call our office or the Pet Poison Helpline immediately to determine if your pet needs emergency help.

So many plants can cause severe toxicity in pets!

Daffodils, Lillies, Tulips, Poinsettia, Hyacinths, and Iris or bushes like Azaleas and Rhododendrons are toxic to dogs and cats!

If you’re unsure of a plant look it up here: ASPCA poison control plant library.

As you encourage your plants to grow, make sure you read the warnings on all plant products. If you need more information, call the product’s company. Their contact information should be listed right on the packaging.

Beware of Cocoa mulch! It is made from the same plant as chocolate and can cause the same problems to your pet as eating chocolate candy would.

Also, pest baits for rodents, slugs, or snails are also severely toxic to pets and can cause death.

If your pet has ingested any type of fertilizer or pest control, please have the product packaging available before contacting your veterinarian or the Pet Poison Prevention Helpline.
