When you choose to bring a pet into your home, one of your main responsibilities is doing whatever is necessary to keep her safe. One of the biggest problems affecting domestic animals is exposure to poisons. Many items that don’t pose a threat to us as humans can be extremely toxic if consumed by our pets. Unfortunately, our pet’s curious nature means that they are often tempted to chow down on virtually anything that looks or smells good – whether it is edible or not!
