Recognizing potential poisons in your home is the first step in pet safety. The ASPCA offers extensive resources to help you protect your beloved animals. Are you aware of which common plants pose a threat to pets? Our comprehensive Poisonous Plants Guide provides images and detailed information about toxic and non-toxic plants, helping you create a safer environment for your pets.
Beyond plants, many everyday human foods can be dangerous, even deadly, for pets. Chocolate, grapes, and even onions are just a few examples of seemingly harmless foods that can cause serious health issues in animals. Educate yourself with our essential guide, People Foods to Avoid Feeding Your Pet, and ensure your pet’s diet is free from human food toxins.
Household products are another significant source of potential poisoning. From cleaning supplies to medications, many items we use daily can be extremely hazardous to pets if ingested or even touched.
