A pet is sometimes just like a toddler, and left alone they will explore every inch of the house. In light of that fact, if you are planning to adopt and especially if you have not had a pet in the household before take note of these common household items that can harm your new pet.
- Chocolate
- Coffee/coffee grounds
- Raisins and grapes

- Onions and onion powder
- Macadamia nuts
- Alcoholic beverages

- Fabric softener sheets dogs and cats love to play with these, but they’re toxic

the street, too

sorry!
