Pets are sensitive to household products.
It pays to know how to handle them inside
and outside of the home.
No matter how many nice smelling or "green" cleaning products we buy at home, our housekeeper insists on using bleach in every room of the house. I noticed our dogs sneezing when she leaves, and wondered if cleaning products containing bleach could be agitating Buddy and Annie.
Regardless, I think the time has come to make a permanent switch and use the non-toxic products we have on the shelf. But, it's not always possible or pracical to use chemical-free products.
That's why it's important to to read labels and store products properly. Our pets, like our children, should not have access to any dangerous products used inside or outside of the house.
The Environmental Protection Agency has issued the following precautions, to be taken by families with pets.
- Follow all label precautions
- Keep products in original containers
- Keep pets away from products
- Know where to call for help
