Common household cleaning
Common household cleaning products as well as insecticides and other chemicals can be harmful and in some instances deadly to children and pets. March is Poison Prevention Month but with proper awareness and careful storage, we can prevent accidents involving poison every month.
A couple of years ago, my beloved cat accidentally got out of the house and ended up being a victim of antifreeze poisoning. Although it was never clear whether the poisoning was deliberate or accidental, his tragic death was needless and preventable.
Even the best-fed pets tend to rummage through garbage if given the opportunity. Dogs may chew on empty or partially empty containers. It?s in their nature just as young children are curious and may tend to explore low area cabinets such as under the sink where household cleaners may be stored. We can?t always protect our children and pets from every danger they may encounter but we can take measures toward poison prevention.
Don?t store household cleaning products, insecticides or other chemicals on low shelves or anywhere that young children may be able to reach.
