Common Household Pet Toxins

Pets can be exposed to a variety of toxins within a typical home environment. Common substances that are poisonous to cats and/or dogs include:

Foods:

Chocolate, xylitol (found in sugar-free gums and candies), grapes, and raisins can be extremely toxic to pets.

Plants:

Lilies, azaleas, and tulips are particularly dangerous to cats and dogs.

Chemicals:

Antifreeze, insecticides, and rodenticides are highly toxic and can be found around the home.

Medications:

Both over-the-counter and prescription medications can pose serious risks if ingested by pets.

If you suspect that your pet has been exposed to or ingested one of these poisonous substances, the first step is to call the National Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435.
