While fertilizers, commercial and natural, can benefit your plants,
ingestion could spell trouble for your dogs. Fertilizers have harmful
chemicals that are toxic to dogs. Your dog could have access to
fertilizer as he runs and plays around on the lawn or garden that has
been recently applied with fertilizer. Ingestion of fertilizer could
occur when a dog grooms himself. Keep in mind that even small amounts of
fertilizer can be harmful to dogs, thus you should take extra
precautions by keeping your dog away from fertilizers. Ingestion of
large quantities of fertilizer can lead to a life-threatening situation.
Being conscious about when to apply fertilizers and pesticides and
storing them properly in places that are inaccessible to your curious
dog are important in minimizing your pet’s exposure to fertilizers.
Signs of fertilizer poisoning include drooling, nausea, vomiting,
diarrhea, difficulty breathing, tremors, and seizures.
Bring your pet to the nearest best animal clinic Derby if you notice any of the symptoms being manifested by your dog.
