Pet owners beware, a chemical that can be found in trace amounts in some COVID-19 rapid antigen test (RAT) kits may be toxic to animals if ingested. 🧪⚠️

The WA says RAT buffer solutions may contain a chemical called sodium azide which could be a risk to small animals such as puppies, small dogs, cats, kittens, small mammals, and birds.

"As Rapid Antigen Test kits become part of our lives, please ensure you take the care to keep them out of reach of animals and dispose of them properly to minimise the risk to your pets," the RSPCA said.

"Please call your veterinarian or contact the Animal Poisons Helpline on 1300 869 738 urgently if an animal has ingested even a small amount of the buffer solution."

ARE LAUNDRY CHEMICALS AFFECTING YOUR PETS’ SKIN & HEALTH?

If you wash your pet blankets and beds using popular fabric softeners and dryer sheets, that “just washed” fresh smell comes from chemicals called Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) that can negatively impact your pets’ health (coughing, rashy, itchy pets, anyone?).

Dr. Anne Steinmann’s UW-Seattle research team found more than 25 VOCs emitted from dryer vents using these products, including well-known respiratory irritants like Acetone, Formaldehyde, Acetaldehyde, but also Pentane (which causes skin rashes and upset stomach), Ethyl Acetate (on the EPA’s Hazardous Waste list; causes anemia, changes in white blood cells and can damage the liver and kidneys), Benzyl Acetate (can be absorbed through the skin and is linked to pancreas problems) and Alpha-terpineol (causes headaches and nervous system disorders).

Our pets can do without having to breathe in these chemical residues or having to lay on them, so here’s our Forever Dog Tip of the day: replace chemical-laden fabric softeners with a non-toxic DIY option!

Recipe: Mix 6 cups white vinegar with 1 cup baking soda, let it fizz. When the fizz stops, pour mixture into a large glass container with a lid. Use 1 cup per load of laundry.

We highlight all of the of home chemical risks that can negatively impact your dog’s health in the The Forever Dog book, available now for pre-order by clicking here: https://foreverdog.com/about/ -window
