Nine Lives Feline Behavior and Training

Here are two important items for every pet owner (not just cats!)

Hydrogen Peroxide is important, but possibly not for the reason you think! It can be used in pets to induce vomiting if they have consumed something dangerous. Activated charcoal is in the same vein, but it's good to have both around just in case! Hydrogen peroxide should only be used on wounds if you have been instructed to do so by your veterinarian!

Remember! If your cat has gotten into something they shouldn't have, it's important to have both of these available. CALL ANIMAL POISON CONTROL IMMEDIATELY. Do not guess how much activated charcoal or hydrogen peroxide is okay. Your local animal poison control will know exactly how much your pet will need based off a few questions (so be prepared to tell them how much your pet weighs, what exactly they are, how much they ate, how long ago it was eaten, along with a few other things). These products are important to have around, but should ALWAYS be administered with the help or guidance of a professional!

If you don't know the best number to call, ask your local vet! There are emergency numbers available at all times of the day, and it's a number you should always keep with you!
