If your dog licks the floor he might be getting toxins on his feet then when he licks his feet it is ingested.  If food is dropped on the floor of the kitchen and your dog is faster than you are getting to it, he might also be ingesting whatever cleaner is on the floor. .

What about outdoors? Do you spray the grass with weed killers? Do you apply other chemicals to the areas around the house?

Be careful during wet weather.  Old pesticides can be reactivated when it rains.  Read more about pesticides

Worse than dog allergies.

Dog food allergies and skin allergies are bothersome but nothing is worse than having your dog poisoned.

I live in a big condo complex in California.  We pay a hefty prices for gardening and the upkeep of our beautiful grounds.  But here’s what the HOA is not telling you.

Every month or so our HOA has the gardeners spray pesticides on the grass and in the flower beds to kill the weeds.  They put up little flags for a day or two so that we don’t let our children or pets near the poisoned areas.

What most people don’t know is that after they take down the flags the poison can still be activated by rain or sprinklers.My dog almost died one day and I had no idea why she got so sick.

The night before I took her for a walk. The sprinklers had been on and her feet got wet.

When we got back up to our condo she started licking her paws.

The sprinklers activated the poisons, they transferred to her feet and when she licked them dry she ingested poison.

The next day she was curled up in a ball and shaking.

If you see your dog acting this way take them to the vet right away! The poisons can be neutralized by the vets.
She was so sick. Her eyes were glazed and she could hardly open her eyes. She couldn’t walk. Don’t let this happen to your dog!

Also, if you walk you dog on grass don’t assume it’s free from poisons. After your walk plop your dog in the bathtub and wash his feet. I’ve been doing this every since that incident and have not had any more problems
