Corks Critter Care

Please note that Corks Critter Care is not a veterinary service. We do not diagnose. The following is offered for your information only. If you suspect your pet has been in contact with a dangerous substance, please contact your veterinarian.

Household cleansers, furniture polishes, disinfectants, insecticides, antifreeze, fertilizers, perfumes, and make up can be dangerous to dogs. Make sure cupboards and storage areas (garage) containing these items are secure. A bored or determined dog can go "where no dog has gone before."

Make sure dishwasher, washing machine, dryer and oven are closed.
Throw out plastic bags, aluminum foil and food wrappers. If swallowed, they can cause damage to a pet's digestive tract or in some cases, cause shock and death.

Make sure your toilet lid is down.

See that medications are locked up. The sound of pills rattling in a plastic bottle may entice the pet to chew the bottle open.

Unplug electrical cords and place them out of a pet's reach. Dangling cords look like toys.
Remove candy or nuts from coffee tables or locations where a pet can reach it. Chocolate is toxic to dogs and nuts can be dangerous as well.

If moth balls are used, keep areas where they are off limits to pets.

Check to see that any hobby supplies, i.e., paints, glue, needles and thread, etc., have been placed away from an inquisitive pet's reach.

Double check that the garbage can is secure. They contain delicious surprises of which some can be life threatening, i.e., chicken bones, foil food wrapper, batteries, etc.

Is the fence secure and is the gate locked?

Put all dangerous plants outside of a pet's reach.
Poisonous plants in the yard and indoors

If you think a pet has been poisoned, try to identify the substance.
Try to induce vomiting, then try to delay absorption into the intestinal tract by coating it with a substance which binds, followed by a laxative to speed elimination.
If the pet is suffering from any nervous disorders, notify a veterinarian at once and get medical attention.
To prepare in advance, keep the proper first aid supplies on hand and know the correct dosages for your pets.
