Are you aware that there are certain items and/or products in your home that contain substances which are highly toxic to dogs? These chemicals, such as organophosphates, can adversely affect the nervous system. When a dog consumes a product that contains toxic ingredients, it can suffer from seizures, drooling, tremors, and nausea. The dog may also have trouble walking or standing properly. Digestive disturbances, such as vomiting and/or diarrhea, may also occur.

While there are pesticides and other household chemicals have a wide margin of safety and have been labeled “environmentally-safe”, this statement is not 100% true to all situations. So the best way to protect your pets if you are using any type of chemical products in your home, inside or outdoors, is to make sure that the product should be placed out of your pet’s reach.
