Try to keep dogs away from liquids with irritating odors

Perhaps many pet owners think it is safest to keep dogs inside the house and not let them run around. Indeed, keeping dogs at home can avoid many accidents, but we must know that even at home it is not necessarily safe for dogs. Moreover, to some extent, more items at home might cause harm to dogs, not to mention electrical appliances or trash inside bins. Even liquids like cleaning agents and floral water can have certain effects on dogs' health.

It is believed that most dogs have the habit of eating randomly, so sometimes leaving dogs alone at home is also dangerous because we do not know if they will swallow liquids like laundry detergent or dishwashing liquid. If ingested in large amounts, these liquids can cause vomiting and diarrhea in dogs. Laundry detergent is relatively mild in its impact on dogs, but if dogs ingest liquids like disinfectants, the health effects may be more serious. Disinfectants contain some toxicity, and excessive consumption can lead to poisoning. Additionally, disinfectants have corrosive properties which may cause damage to the dog's organs.

If the owner is not home, it is safer to keep the dog in a cage

Earlier we mentioned liquids that dogs are prone to ingest by mistake. There are also some liquids that are less likely to be swallowed but have a strong odor. Perfume, floral water, mosquito repellents, etc., have relatively strong irritating smells. Since dogs’ sense of smell is much more sensitive than ours, these odors can cause irritation to their respiratory tract and make dogs sneeze. Long-term exposure to such smells can affect dogs’ nervous system, causing nausea and dizziness. Ultimately, the largest impact is on the dog’s sense of smell. Damage to a dog's olfactory system can have tremendous effects on its life, so it's best to keep dogs away from liquids with irritating odors such as perfumes.

It can be seen that the home is not necessarily safe for dogs. If the owner is not home and the dog needs to be left alone, it is recommended to keep the dog in a cage. Some toys can be placed inside the cage for the dog to play with. This solution can prevent dogs from urinating and defecating everywhere while ensuring their safety.
