There are a number of common household products that are poisonous to dogs, and knowing what exposure to these products looks like in your dog could help to save their life! Here is a list of eight common household products, and what to look out for:

Detergent cleaners: detergents primarily cause gastrointestinal irritation such as vomiting and diarrhea. Hair loss and skin ulcerations can also occur with contact of detergents such as fabric softeners.
Bleach: Bleach causes pain in the mouth and the stomach, which can present as salivation and vomiting. Once in the stomach, bleach produces a gas that, when breathed in, causes respiratory signs such as difficulty breathing
Rubbing Alcohol: Rubbing alcohol causes severe neurological signs once ingested and animals may begin to stumble, vomit, and eventually slip into a coma.
Pine oil: pine oils, like pine sol, can cause irritation in the eyes with contact and result in tearing and redness. When ingested, animals may vomit and salivate. This may progress to weakness and wobbliness if left untreated.
Mothballs: Mothballs primarily cause vomiting when ingested. They can inflect red blood cell damage and cause anemia with time. Animals may also have tremors and seizures if enough is consumed.
Drain and over cleaner: Drain and oven cleaners are extremely toxic to the skin and inner lining of the nose, mouth, etc. Causing tissue to slough off. With ingestion, severe damage can create a narrowing in the esophagus as the tissue is damaged, creating difficulties eating.
Matches and fireworks: ingestion of large quantities of matches and fireworks can cause vomiting, damage to red blood cells, and neurological signs. Signs specific to fireworks include salivation, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
Lead paint: ingestion of lead results in gastrointestinal signs such as not eating, vomiting, and abdominal pain. Neurological signs can also be seen such as seizures and becoming very excitable. With ingestion of enough lead, sudden death can occur without any prior signs.

If your dog is exhibiting symptoms and you are unsure of what to do, do not hesitate to contact your veterinarian, or the ASPCA Animal poison control center (888-426-4435).
