Overview of Household Hazard Toxicoses in Animals

Also see Rodenticide Poisoning, Toxicities From Human Drugs, Poisonous Plants, and Food Hazards.

Household chemicals (eg, products containing alcohols, bleaches, or corrosive agents) found in the home represent risks of toxicosis if companion animals are exposed to concentrates or undiluted products. However, casual exposure to areas in which these compounds have been appropriately used rarely produces any serious problems.
