Pets come in contact with many household items which can harm or kill them. Here is a list of a few of the items that should be kept out of your pet's reach: medications (even OTC items such as ibuprofen, aspirin and acetaminophen); vitamins; insectacides; rodent bait; bleach; disinfectants; mothballs; fabric softener; petroleum products (lighter fluid, gasoline, kerosene, nail polish remover, etc.); lime/scale remover and tobacco products.
If your pet contacts or consumes any of these items, call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435 or your veterinarian as soon as possible.
