Household Products to Keep Away from Fluffy and Fido...

In keeping with our last post where we let readers know about common plants that are poisonous to pets, we thought we would also remind everyone that there are certain household products that are poisonous to pets as well. Some of the more common ones are:

Acetaminophen, aftershave, antifreeze, aspirin, bleach, boric acid, brake fluid, carburetor cleaner, cleaning fluid, deodorants, deodorizers, detergents, disinfectants, drain cleaner, dye, fungicides, furniture polish, gasoline, hair colorings, herbicides, insecticides, kerosene, laxatives, lead, mineral spirits, mothballs, nail polish & remover, naproxen, paint, permanent solution, photo developer, pool chemicals, rat poison, rubbing alcohol, shoe polish, sleeping pills, snail and slug bait, soaps, suntan lotion, tar, toilet bowl cleaners, turpentine, Tylenol (cats), windshield washer fluid, wood preservatives, Xylitol (artificial sweetener).  

Be sure to keep these and any other potentially harmful products out of your pets' reach to ensure a safe and healthy summer for all!
