There was a reported incident from 2020 where a dog from the UK got poisoned after just walking on a newly mopped floor. While cats and dogs are both at risk, cats are more vulnerable, as claimed by a senior analyst for cat protection and policy at the Humane Society. This is because they are smaller which means that they can easily access the nooks and crannies of your house and hence can come in contact with more harmful things. Furthermore, they are deficient in liver enzymes that generally protect from such toxicity. While the general instructions tell users to keep chemical products away from animals, there are some substances that you should be mindful of for your pets’ sake.

Having a strong smell, bleach can lead to issues with your pet’s breathing in addition to being highly toxic if consumed. Fully wash any surface that has come in contact with it, and keep your pet away from the particular area until it is completely dry. Next is ammonia, a common constituent of most cleaners, one that can cause burning and irritation in your pets’ stomach, eyes, skin, throat, and nose if licked, smelled, or ingested. As a component in antibacterial sprays for bathrooms and kitchens, Benzalkonium Chloride is potentially irritating to your pet’s eyes, paws, and nose. It is advised for users to ensure that the area where it has been used is fully dry for the safety of their animals. Last is phthalates, which is highly unsafe for animals, especially if ingested. Due to its ability to spread through air, it is best not to keep pets’ bowls in the area when spraying products with this chemical.

Any ailment that affects animals would be manifested through their demeanor, which would prompt you to take them to the vet. While the symptoms can vary for cats and dogs, specifically depending on what substance has entered their system, there are some common signs that tell you something is wrong with the animal. These include vomiting and diarrhea, along with behavioral changes.

Just when you think Paris Hilton can’t surprise you, she pulls another rabbit out of her hat. The Paris In Love star recently got candid about her plans for the future, saying that she feels ready to be a mom with her husband Carter Reum and, get this, she wants twins first!

“Fairytale Wedding Dream Come True”

Just last November, Paris tied the knot with businessman Carter Reum in a magnificent, star-studded three-day ceremony where Demi Lovato sang “ I Will Always Love You” and Diplo served as the DJ at the Santa Monica pier where the couple threw a carnival celebration. To top that already pompous wedding, the couple went on a seven-week honeymoon around the world. It was during that time that Hilton’s desire to become a mom was strengthened. Like she told reporters, Reum is everything she’s ever wanted, and their fairytale wedding was a dream come true.

IVF Is the Only Option for Paris Hilton

Wanting to become a mom isn’t exactly news for Paris Hilton. She actually started the IVF (in vitro fertilization) process last January and has praised Reum for being “so supportive.” Since Paris wants “twins that are a boy and a girl,” the only way that can happen is through IVF. It was her long-time friend Kim Kardashian that actually told her about it and introduced Paris to her doctor. Kim welcomed two children via surrogate after her last pregnancy complications.

Paris has already completed the egg retrieval procedure, and although “it was tough,” she’s really happy that her partner was there with her to support her and make her feel “like a princess all the time.”

Paris Hilton, who will turn 41 this February 17, also opened up about her secret to anti-aging. She said that her youthful look is because she’s never had any procedures or botox done and that she feels really proud of that.
