How to Keep Your Home Healthy and Pet-Friendly

Bathroom: May Cause Panting and Loss of Fur  

All too often the staff at the Pet Poison Helpline receives calls from people who accidentally swapped Fluffy’s medication for their own. Keep your pet’s medication in a completely separate area from your own, or put it in a very different looking container. Never give your pets any medication without first consulting a veterinarian. Also, don’t keep a weekly pill container in easy reach. It’s plastic, it rattles, and it looks like a great chew toy for dogs. And just because a medicine bottle is childproof, it is far from being pet-proof.

If your dog does ingest anything toxic, call the Pet Poison Helpline 24 hours a days at (800) 213-6680
