Why You Should Not Let Your Pet Dog Or Cat Drink From The Toilet

vets San Diego, CA

Have there been times where you caught your pet drinking from the toilet? It is time to put a stop to this horrid habit to keep them from getting sick. The toilet has high amounts of bacteria that when ingested by your pet make them sick. Aside from that, they have the potential to ingest residue of the chemicals you used to clean your toilet with and those would be extremely detrimental to your pet’s health. If your pet who has been drinking from the toilet has bad breath, this might be because your pet has consumed bits of substances left in the water of the toilet.

Your pet might be more inclined to drink from the toilet since it is readily available and because it is cold. To help discourage the behavior or put a stop to it entirely, you must do your part such as putting the lid down on the toilet or keeping the door to the bathroom always closed. In addition to that, place several bowls of water around the house to keep your pet hydrated without having to walk far.

If you have noticed abrupt changes in your pet’s behavior and wellbeing, take your pet to the Santaluz Animal Care as soon as possible.
