The effects of toxins on Pets
Veterinarians are treating more and more cases of cancer in
animals, as well as increased numbers of behavioral
problems and poisonings.  

Cats, in particular, have difficulty eliminating toxic chemicals
because their systems are insufficient at metabolizing foreign
intruders.  

Household cleaners can be extremely toxic to pets, as can
common bug sprays and garden pesticides .

Modern energy efficient construction methods are most likely
the responsible agent: in their function to provide superior
insulation, these methods prevent air from leaking into or out of
the house.  While the newer techniques save you a great deal
of money in heating costs, they also result in a build-up of
chemicals fumes within the home.  And as pets spend most of
their time indoors, they may develop serious health problems.  

Furthermore they inhale higher concentrations given body
weight.  Therefore, many symptoms attributed to poisonous
fumes can appear in our animals before they appear in us.

Aerosol sprays are also a hazard to an animal's health,
especially if the pet already has respiratory problems.  And
those pleasant smelling air fresheners which are fatal if eaten,
are laden with chemicals that permeate the indoor
environment.  Fumes left over from these and other cleaning
products can linger in the home for long periods of time,
particularly when the windows are closed during the heating
and air conditioning seasons.  

Symptoms of Cleaning Product Poisoning:

While the actual symptom of cleaning product poisoning that
the animal exhibits depends on the type of substance to which
he or she was exposed, there are some general symptoms of
