Could Your Household Cleaning Products Be Making Your Pet Sick?

Could Your Household Cleaning Products Be Making Your Pet Sick?

Time To Clean Up The Mess

These days, people will do just about anything for their pets. From preparing gourmet meals to buying fancy beds, everyone is trying to give their pets a taste of the good life. Yet, while these pet owners are buying embroidered leashes and paying for fancy grooming services, they may be neglecting one of the more obvious and important things they can do to give their furry friend a longer and healthier life: buying the right cleaning products.

There are a number of common ingredients found in everyday cleaning products that can be harmful to our pets. Strong acidic or alkaline cleaners are the most dangerous because of their corrosive nature, but there are a number of other red flag ingredients that can harm your pets, such as:

Phenols
Rubbing Alcohol
Hydrogen Peroxide
Bleach
Formaldehyde
Glycol
Chlorine
Ammonium

Bad Behavior

If you’ve been using cleaners with these ingredients, it’s important to know what symptoms and behaviors to look out for in case your pet does ingest or come in contact with them. Common reactions include:

Vomiting
Difficulty breathing
Convulsions or seizures
Abdominal pain
Red and inflamed paw pads or skin
General lethargy
Decreased appetite

If you notice any of these signs in your pet, call your veterinarian immediately.
