PREVENTING POISONING IN THE HOME:
Keep all medicines out of reach preferably in a locked kitchen cupboard
Keep human and veterinary medicines separate
Never give animals medicines intended for human use – only medicines prescribed by your vet.
Some foods (for example, chocolate,onions, grapes, raisins, sultanas, avocados,certain nuts, liquorice, xylitol-sweetened foods and sweets) can be toxic. Do not allow animals access to foods intended for human consumption. Pets should only be given food and treats formulated for animals.
Some plants are hazardous (for example,lilies to cats, daffodils) – keep houseplants and floral displays out of reach of pets.
Restrict access to cleaning, DIY and car products (for example, fuels, antifreeze, white spirit and lubricating oils).
PREVENTING POISONING IN THE GARDEN OR OPEN SPACES:
Prevent access to gardens where pesticides or fertilisers have recently been used, especially slug pellets and rodent baits.
Access to such baits can be reduced by placing them in narrow tubes etc.
Keep pesticides/herbicides in a safe and inaccessible place – away from all pets.
Never leave buckets or watering cans full of mixed chemicals.
Do not allow animals to drink from ponds/puddles that appear oily or otherwise polluted.
Be careful not to leave plant bulbs lying around.
SUBSTANCES OF LOW TOXICITY
The following is a list of substances that are frequently eaten by pets. If these are eaten it can generally be anticipated that there will be no clinical signs, other than drooling, vomiting and/or diarrhea.
Antacid tablets (‘over the counter’)
Blu-tack or other similar adhesives
Chalk
Charcoal
Coal (real or artificial)
Cotoneaster species
Cut-flower/houseplant food
Expanded polystyrene
Folic acid
Fuchsia species
Holly (Ilex species)
Honeysuckle (Lonicera species)
Matches
Mistletoe (Viscum album)
Oral contraceptives and hormone replacementtherapy (HRT) tablets
Pyracantha species
Rowan (Sorbus aucuparia)
Silica gel
Wax candles/crayons
Although in many cases treatment may not be necessary, if you are at all concerned then contact your vet for advice. The animal should always have easy access to drinking water.
