Some human foods and cleaning products are dangerous for cats and dogs.
Dogs and cats are naturally inquisitive individuals. The phrase "curiosity killed the cat" didn't arise without reason! Pets often investigate with their mouths, ingesting foreign materials that can result in internal poisoning. Thankfully, toxicity is easy to avoid.

How Holistic Medicine Treats Toxicity An array of natural modalities can be employed to treat toxicity.
