Does your pet cat or dog frequently drink
from the toilet? It’s time to undertake measures to stop your pet’s disgusting
habit if you don’t want your pet to get sick. The toilet is overloaded with
bacteria that can all have the potential to make your pet ill. Also, drinking
from the toilet can expose your pet to chemical residues from your toilet
cleaner and other products that you use to clean and disinfect the toilet.
These chemicals can be very dangerous to your pet. If your pet has a
foul-smelling breath and is drinking from the toilet, it may be caused by ingesting
traces of substances that are left in the toilet.
Your pet’s behavior may be attributed to
the fact that the water in the toilet is cool and it’s easily accessible. To
discourage or altogether prevent the behavior, keep the toilet lid down or
better yet, keep the bathroom door closed at all times. Have several water
bowls distributed in strategic places around your home so your pet won’t have
to walk far when they are thirsty.
Sudden changes in your pet’s health and/or behavior
should be brought to the attention of your vet
Pickerington, OH sooner rather than later.
