Dogs are prone to ingesting poisonous substances due to their tendency to put anything in their mouths. Common household poisons include human foods like chocolate, medications, and various plants. Signs of poisoning include abnormal behavior, vomiting, diarrhea, and weakness. If a dog is suspected of ingesting something toxic, the owner should collect any remaining substance or vomit as evidence, call the vet immediately, and follow the vet's instructions for treatment. Pet owners should thoroughly proof their homes and seek veterinary advice if they suspect poisoning.

4. Common causes of Dog Poisoning
Many of the foodstuffs, medications, and products you keep in your house
can be highly toxic to your dog, like:

5. 1. Several Human Food
Your dog’s metabolism is very different from your
own, which is why some of your favourite snacks
can be hazardous to your dog. Common dog
poisons found in the kitchen include chocolate,
avocados, grapes and raisins, and alcohol.
Some human foods can be safely shared with your
dog, it’s generally a good idea to play it safe and
only give treats specially made for dogs.

6. 2. Human Medications
Many medications that are helpful to humans can be
harmful to dogs. Some of the most common examples
include antidepressant, blood pressure, and pain
medications. To prevent accidents, you should stow
all of your medications in cabinets that are
inaccessible to your dog.

7. 3. Plants
Several popular household flowers and plants can be
poisonous to your dog, including tulips, daffodils,
marigold and lilies. Whenever possible, dog owners
should avoid bringing these plants into their homes or
yards.

8. 4. Insecticides and Rodenticides
Products designed to fight ants, roaches, and other insect pests can be
poisonous to dogs. Consuming rodenticide – or a rodent that has been
poisoned – can also lead to serious problems. Be sure such products are
inaccessible to your dog.
