Some dogs have a propensity to try to eat almost anything they encounter. This typically results in some minor discomfort. However, there are several substances that, if consumed by your dog, could prove fatal.
The following is a list of goods you ought to keep your dog away from. I'll put this caution here in bold to avoid repeating it:
IF YOUR DOG HAS CONSUMED ANY OF THE FOLLOWING, CALL YOUR POISON CONTROL CENTER:
1) Antifreeze: Many people are unaware that regular antifreeze kills numerous pets every year. Your dog finds it highly enticing because it smells and tastes so nice to him. In very modest doses, renal failure can become fatal in a matter of days.
2) Chocolate: Theobromine, a chemical found in chocolate, is poisonous to dogs. Dark chocolate and baking chocolate are particularly hazardous. If you discover that your dog consumed some chocolate, take him to the vet right away. Although chocolate intake seldom results in death, it can cause your dog serious disease.
3) Caffeine: When consumed in large doses, caffeine can result in fatal seizures and severe sickness. Although we don't typically picture dogs sipping coffee, caffeine-rich sweetened Coke, especially when spilled on the floor, is quite alluring to dogs.
4) Bleach: As one might anticipate, household bleach is poisonous to canines. Not just for humans but also for dogs and other animals, the smell of bleach is extremely unpleasant to the skin, lungs, and eyes. If your dog steps in a pool of bleach on your floor, give his feet a good rinsing to get rid of any bleach that may have gotten between his toes or foot pads or on any other damaged skin or fur.
5) Tylenol: Just two Tylenol standard dosage tablets are enough to kill a tiny dog. The issue with taking Tylenol is typically how it affects the liver. After 1-4 hours, watch for depression, fast breathing, nausea, and drooling if you suspect your dog has consumed Tylenol.
6) Watch Batteries: If your dog consumes a watch battery, the ulceration in the stomach could be fatal and occur within 12 hours. Dogs are also poisoned by every other type of alkaline battery. A battery will spill and burn your dog's lips, throat, and/or stomach if it is bit and punctured.
7) Moth Balls: Dogs should never handle mothballs. They include an insecticide that can result in convulsions and stimulation of the central nervous system. Garden mothballs should not be used because your dog might consume them. Mothballs include several compounds that can have temporary negative health consequences, such as headaches, eye, and nose irritation and persistent coughing.
8) Fabric Softeners and other detergents: All household detergents are to some extent poisonous to dogs, but fabric softeners are particularly dangerous. The primary signs in your dog are typically a headache, lightheadedness, and exhaustion.
9) Mouthwash: Dogs are extremely hazardous to mouthwash since it contains boric acid. Symptoms of mouthwash poisoning include drooling, vomiting, seizures, and coma.
