Veterinarians are diagnosing and
treating increasing cases of cancer,
poisonings and behavioral problems
in pets. The major contributors are
chemicals found in common household
cleaning products. These chemicals
are dangerous to humans as well.
They often contain cancer
causing carcinogens and other
chemicals that damage lungs, hearts,
kidneys and livers. They have also
been linked to many brain and
central nervous system disorders.
Our pets tend to be smaller and
therefore more vulnerable. They
tend to stay in our homes and other
indoor environments longer and more
often than we do. Also, pets are in
closer contact with cleaning
chemicals used on flooring and
furniture. As a result, these
poisons can act faster and be more
harmful to our pets.
One area of major concern is our pet
cats. Most cats do not go outdoors
at all, so they stay indoors 100% of
the time. They are very exposed and
their systems do not easily
eliminate
these harmful chemicals from their
systems. There is evidence that
shows feline leukemia is on the rise
and reaching epidemic proportions.
Our pets rely on us to feed and care
for them. Contact CleanStart today
to improve your indoor environment.
