Just like with children, we must take steps to protect our pets from anything toxic. It is also so important to know just what can be a toxic substance.

I remember years ago someone on Facebook wrote that she was feeding her cat grapes and that the cat loved them. She thought it was so funny! Almost instantly people started commenting to her, telling her that grapes are poisonous to cats. At that time, I didn’t know that either.

Misty Blue spent a day at the vet last year due to getting chocolate brownies off the kitchen counter. Now, everyone seems to know that chocolate is a big no-no for dogs. But I wonder how many of you reading this knew that grapes can be toxic to dogs and cats?

According to the ASPCA the leading cause of injury and death for our companion animals is poisoning.

There are thousands of things that can be potentially dangerous to our pets. We need to become knowable as to what they are. Researching for things toxic to our pets is a great way to be made aware.

It’s probably a good idea to have some activated charcoal on hand. Please get approval from vet first before using.

Has your pet ever eaten something poisonous?
