* Medications: Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, aspirin, cough and cold syrups, and prescription drugs should all be kept out of the reach of all animals.
* Indoor Plants: These can be very dangerous for some household animals and should only be kept on a counter high enough so a pet cannot reach for it. If you have a large pet, you may want to get rid of these plants altogether. They include: Tulip bulbs, poinsettias, philodendrons, daffodils, lily of the valley, and azaleas.
* Foods: Pets have a way of getting into cabinets where the "good stuff" is stored. These foods are dangerous for dogs: chocolate, yeast, grapes, onions, and raisins.
* Insecticides: These should not be kept in the home, but kept in a locked cabinet or on a high shelf in the garage: rat poison, flea and tick products, and other insecticides.
* Cleaners: These are sometimes kept under the kitchen sink. Pet-proof the cabinet so that these items cannot be taken out by your dog: bleach, detergent, furniture polish, soap, and disinfectants.
