Pets explore the world with their noses—and sometimes their mouths. Unfortunately, that curiosity can lead them to things that are dangerous.
March is Pet Poison Prevention Month, a good reminder that common household toxins include chocolate, xylitol, human medications, certain plants, and cleaning products. Keeping these items safely out of reach is one of the best ways to protect your pet.
If you think your pet may have ingested something toxic, contact Gateway Animal Hospital or an emergency animal hospital right away.
