We’ve all heard about things we can do to cure fleas, vomiting, and other problems our pets have. We embrace these because they’re quick and easy (for example, we usually have garlic in our kitchen). In fact, some of these “cures” are toxic and can be harmful to our beloved pet. Below is a chart from the ASPCA of common myths so we can know to avoid making our beloved pets even sicker…or worse.
Here’s an additional myth not on the chart: My pet won’t eat something that tastes bad. The fact is, they’ll gobble down bad-tasting food because they won’t realize it tastes bad until after they’ve gobbled it up.
For additional information, including their phone number, go to the ASPCA’s animal poison control website.
