🧡Pet Poison Prevention Month🧡
Pet Poison Prevention Month is observed every March to raise awareness about the dangers of poisoning to pets and how to prevent it.
Here are some key tips for preventing pet poisoning:
👀Toxic Foods: Many foods we eat daily can be dangerous to pets, including chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, alcohol, and certain artificial sweeteners like xylitol.
👀Household Chemicals: Be mindful of cleaning products, fertilizers, pesticides, and plants that could be toxic. Keep them out of reach and store them securely.
👀Medications: Never give pets human medications unless directed by a vet. Even over-the-counter drugs like painkillers or vitamins can be harmful.
👀Plant Safety: Many common plants (e.g., lilies, azaleas, poinsettias, bulbs) are toxic to pets. Know which plants are safe for your home and garden.
👀Pet-proofing Your Home: Be mindful of small objects or foods that pets might ingest. Keep toxic items in secure cabinets or drawers.
✨KNOW THE SYMPTOMS: Common signs of poisoning in pets include drooling, vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, seizures, or changes in behaviour. If you suspect your pet has ingested something toxic, contact a vet or an emergency animal poison hotline immediately.
Raising awareness during Pet Poison Prevention Month can help prevent many avoidable tragedies. Share to raise awareness.
