By reading the labels of cleaning products carefully, you can effectively ensure that everything you’re using is safe for your furry friends. Take note of the following materials that may be toxic for your dogs, cats, or any other pets:
●Bleach
This ingredient is highly alkaline and has a strong scent, which may cause coughing and other respiratory issues when inhaled. When ingested, bleach may cause erosion along the digestive tract. If bleach is really necessary, rinse the area thoroughly, let it dry, and keep your pets away from it.
●Glycol ether
Glycol ethers are also present in many cleaning products and are very toxic if ingested/inhaled. For one, they irritate the eye and skin and cause allergic reactions. They’ve been linked to many serious cases like anemia, kidney problems, and developmental issues. Thus, you should refrain from using glycol ether near your fur babies.
If your pet has ingested any toxic product, you should take your pet to the nearest animal hospital Tampa, FL immediately.
