What Are the Most Common Pet Poisonings and How to Avoid Them?

Pets are naturally curious, and unfortunately, this can sometimes lead them to ingest toxic substances. Some of the most common pet poisonings come from household items like chocolate, grapes, and xylitol, a sugar substitute found in many sugar-free products. Medications, including over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen and prescription drugs, can also be highly toxic to pets if consumed. Additionally, certain plants, such as lilies for cats and sago palms for dogs, pose serious health risks.

To keep your pet safe, always store food, medications, and cleaning products securely out of reach. Be mindful of what you bring into your home, ensuring that any plants, essential oils, or human foods are pet-safe.
