Bug Sprays: Toxic for Pets!

As summer bugs come out in full force, we all want to protect ourselves, but bug sprays and repellents can be dangerous to our pets if not used properly!

What to watch out for:

- DEET (in insect repellents): This common ingredient can cause vomiting, drooling, tremors, and seizures in pets.
- Citronella & essential oils: While great for humans, these can cause respiratory issues, skin burns, or digestive upset in pets when ingested or inhaled.
- Pyrethrins (in some sprays): Toxic to cats and can cause lethargy, drooling, or even seizures.

Pet safety tips:

- Keep bug sprays and repellents away from your pets—don’t apply them to their fur or skin.
- Use pet-safe products—always choose repellents specifically labeled as safe for pets.
- Wash your pet if they’ve been exposed to any toxic sprays.
- Avoid outdoor chemicals—and if you must use them, make sure pets are kept inside.

If you think your pet has been exposed to a harmful bug spray or repellent, seek emergency care immediately! We’re here 24/7 to help.

⚠️ Mouse Poison is Deadly to Pets ⚠️
We’ve seen several cases recently of pets getting into mouse or rodent poison—and it can be fatal if not treated immediately.

If you think your dog or cat may have ingested any kind of rodenticide:
👉 Call the clinic right away.
We can safely induce vomiting and begin treatment before symptoms start.

Time is critical—don’t wait for signs of illness.
Keep all poisons out of reach. 🐶🐱
