Are you worried you may have items in your home that are poisonous to your pet? Parents are often reminded to baby- and kid-proof our homes, but it’s also necessary to pet-proof them. Each year, thousands of pets accidentally ingest common but dangerous household materials, and the culprits are often surprising: items including onions, grapes and garden mulch are offenders.

In honor of National Poison Prevention Week, we’re hosting a live Twitter chat with Dr. Tina Wismer, Medical Director of the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) on Thursday, March 24 from 1:00 to 2:00 P.M. ET. Follow @ASPCA as Dr. Wismer answers all of your questions about protecting pets from harmful substances!
