Pets are curious creatures, and it's not uncommon for them to ingest things they shouldn't. To keep your furry friend safe, it's important to be aware of common household toxins that could harm them. Here are some of the most common pet toxins to watch out for:

1. Medications: Human medications, such as painkillers, antidepressants, and vitamins, can be toxic to pets. Always keep medications out of reach and never give your pet medication without first consulting a veterinarian.
2. Household cleaning products: Cleaning products, such as bleach, detergents, and disinfectants, can be harmful if ingested or come in contact with your pet's skin.
3. Plants: Some common household plants, such as lilies, chrysanthemum, and tulips, can be toxic to pets if ingested.
4. Insecticides: Insecticides, such as flea and tick treatments, can be toxic to pets if not used properly. Always follow the label instructions and never use a product intended for dogs on a cat.
5. Food items: Certain human foods, such as chocolate, caffeine, and grapes, can be toxic to pets. It's important to keep these foods out of reach and never offer them as treats.
