As we observe Poison Awareness Month this March, it’s important to be aware of common household poisons that can be dangerous to your pets.

Beware of the following: ❄️ Antifreeze (ethylene glycol): Highly toxic and deadly for pets, even in small doses. Symptoms include incoordination, thirst, drooling, vomiting, drowsiness, lethargy, excessive urination, progressing to seizures, coma, and death. 🍬 Sweeteners (xylitol): Found in many human sweets, xylitol can cause low blood sugar and permanent liver damage in pets. Symptoms include vomiting, weakness, incoordination, lethargy, tremors, and seizures.

💊 Household Medicines: Over-the-counter medications like Ibuprofen or Paracetamol can be deadly to pets, causing liver and kidney damage. Keep them locked away and contact your veterinarian immediately if you think your pet has ingested them.
