Keep Pets Safe From Poison

Most warning labels are geared toward adult males around 175 lbs, imagine the effect that a common household cleaner could have on your 3 lb. puppy. It’s important to be careful of what products that you’re using in your house in order to ensure the safety of your pets. Many household cleaners can be poisonous to your animals so make sure to read labels carefully. In this video you will learn about alternative products for household cleaning that are safer for you, your pet and the environment.

Step 1: Target Groups
Most warning labels on products like these are geared towards adult males; approximately between 45 to 55 years old, and weighing around 165 to 200 lbs. Now imagine the effect these products can have on a three-pound Russels-Griffin.
Step 2: Products
Pets are much smaller and it takes a lot less of a product to induce intoxication or poisoning. Household cleaners are really dangerous. Dogs can get asthma from exposure, and birds can develop breathing problems. If you keep reptiles, keep this in mind when cleaning their cages. Ammonia will kill live insects and cause asphyxiation in most reptiles.

Most dishwashing detergents are really caustic. I took a leading dish detergent, put it on some tinfoil, and as you can see it's actually burning through the tinfoil. Now can you imagine your pet swallowing this? What it would do their stomach?
Step 3: Dangerous Chemicals
Air fresheners may make your house smell better, but they contain dangerous chemicals like formaldehyde and phenol. Don't spray with pets in the room.

Normally in the wild, animals would smell caustic and they wouldn't touch it. But certain fragrances - or no smell at all - has put the animal population into a lot of trouble.
Step 4: Pet Safe Tips
Here's some other tips to keep your pet safe. Keep cleaners away from pets and in hermetically sealed containers. Keep pets out of areas being cleaned and clean up all spills.

Also, keep the area well ventilated. Consider using natural cleaning products found in health stores. Materials safety data sheets are available online for just about any household cleaner.

An ounce of prevention - well, you know the rest.
