Veterinarians listed household chemicals that are dangerous for dogs and cats.

During cleaning, it is necessary to be extremely careful with detergents and disinfectants.

Veterinarians have warned about the danger of household chemicals for pets.

Bleach is highly toxic, especially for domestic animals. Cats or dogs only need to be in a treated area to have a negative impact on their health. Chlorine vapors can cause bronchospasms, leading to respiratory distress. Contact with such substances on the skin or paw pads can cause irritation, while ingestion can result in poisoning and burns to the mucous membranes, experts have cautioned.

According to veterinarians, alcohol-based antiseptics are equally hazardous. They can cause burning sensations and lead to allergic reactions. For disinfecting areas where animals live, it is best to use specialized products available in pet stores, experts have recommended.
