๐Ÿšจ Pet Safety Alert: The Dangers of Rodenticides! ๐Ÿšจ

Rodenticides are a common solution for controlling rodent populations, but they can pose serious risks to our beloved pets. Here are the four primary categories of rodenticides and their potential dangers:

Anticoagulants: These cause internal bleeding by preventing blood from clotting. Ingesting even a small amount can be fatal to pets. Common brands often used to contain these, but recently, D-con has switched to a safer alternative.

Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3): While effective at killing rodents, this type increases calcium levels in the blood, leading to kidney failure in pets. D-con now exclusively uses cholecalciferol, so keep an eye out!

Bromethalin: A potent neurotoxin that affects the brain and nervous system, causing severe symptoms and potentially death in pets. It's fast-acting and dangerous even in small doses.

Zinc Phosphide: When ingested, it reacts with stomach acid to release toxic phosphine gas, which can be fatal to pets if inhaled or ingested.

๐Ÿ” Important Note: Always check the labels of any rodenticide products you bring into your home. Choose pet-safe alternatives, and store all rodenticides out of reach of your furry friends.

๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Prevention is key! Contact us, Urgent Pet Care in Papillion, or the Pet Poison Control Help Line immediately if you suspect your pet has ingested any of these substances. Stay safe and protect your pets! ๐Ÿพโค๏ธ

If you must use any of these chemicals, please be sure they are in a dog and child safe distribution box. Also watch out for the animals killed by the poison because they have not metabolized all of it and can still kill your pets if consumed. If your pet gets into these products please keep the package so we know what poison to treat and call us (tel:402-389-3389), in Papillion, or the Pet Poison Control Help Line immediately.

You're rightโ€”it feels unnecessary to test for heartworm every year if your dog has always been on preventative medication.
