Toxins

March 9, 2010

There are many common substances which are toxic to your pet which may not be toxic to you. For example, yeast dough, caffeine, onions, garlic, grapes, raisins and xylitol (an artificial sweetener) are all things deemed edible for people, but which can cause major health issus for your pet. If you think your pet may have eaten a toxic substance, call your vet or local emergency clinic right away.  In addition, the North Shore Animal League has a Poison Control Hotline available for a per incident fee at 1-888-232-8870.  Furthermore, here is a video from the ASPCA about 17 Things That Are Poisonous to Your Pet.
