隨著春季清潔季節的開始，人們警告狗主人可能會給他們四足的朋友帶來的隱藏危險。

The canine experts at Years.com have issued a reminder of the cleaning products that can be harmful to dogs and the importance of pet-proofing a home.

lays.com上的犬科專家提醒人們清潔產品可能對狗有害以及寵愛房屋的重要性。

With the days getting longer and the weather slowly warming, many households around the country will soon be looking to start the annual tradition of a spring clean. But while the practice can help to rejuvenate the home, it’s important that dog owners are aware that many common household cleaning products can be harmful to pets.

隨著日子不斷變長，天氣緩慢變暖，全國各地的許多家庭將很快開始開始春季清潔的年度傳統。但是，儘管這種做法可以幫助使房屋恢復活力，但狗主人必須知道，許多常見的家庭清潔產品可能對寵物有害。

Common products like bleach, toilet cleaners and air fresheners can all cause harm, especially if ingested, causing symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhoea and irritation. It’s essential that cleaning products are stored away securely in places dogs can’t reach, like locked cabinets or high shelves. Another key pet-proofing method is to keep toilet lids closed to prevent dogs from drinking harmful chemicals.

普通產品，例如漂白劑，廁所清潔劑和空氣清潔劑都可能造成傷害，尤其是在攝入的情況下，引起諸如嘔吐，腹瀉和刺激之類的症狀。至關重要的是，清潔產品在狗無法到達的地方牢固地存放，例如鎖著櫥櫃或高架子。另一個主要的寵物寵物方法是保持廁所的關閉，以防止狗喝有害化學物質。

Darren Beale, CEO of Years.com, said: “Our dogs can be curious animals and may sniff, lick or even chew on a range of items they can find around your home - including cleaning products. Exposure to cleaning products can cause serious health risks for your pooch, including skin irritation, respiratory problems, or even poisoning if products are ingested.

Years.com首席執行官Darren Beale說：“我們的狗可能是好奇的動物，可能會聞，舔甚至咀嚼，在您家周圍可以找到的一系列物品（包括清潔產品）。暴露於清潔產品可能會對您的狗造成嚴重的健康風險，包括皮膚刺激，呼吸道問題，甚至攝入產品中毒。

“So when it’s time to give your house a spring clean, it’s important that your dog isn’t exposed to any of the chemicals or ingredients these products contain. During cleaning, make sure your home is well-ventilated by opening windows. Dogs should also be kept away from any room you’re cleaning behind a closed door or baby gate.

“因此，當是時候讓您的房子清潔春季，重要的是，您的狗不暴露於這些產品所含的任何化學物質或成分。在清潔過程中，請確保您的房屋通過打開窗戶進行通風。還應將狗遠離您要清潔的任何房間，在閉門門或嬰兒門後面。

“Pet-proofing your home is essential to giving your dog a nice, safe environment to live in. Cleaning products should be kept locked away in places where dogs can’t get to and toilet lids should be kept closed. At the end of your spring clean, you might be in the dog house for keeping your pooch in another room all day, so reward their good behaviour with a tasty and nutritious meal instead.”

“對您的房屋進行寵物寵物對於給狗一個良好，安全的環境至關重要。應將清潔產品鎖在狗無法到達的地方，廁所蓋應保持關閉。在春季清潔結束時，您可能會整天將狗狗放在另一個房間裡，因此可以用美味又營養的餐點獎勵他們的良好行為。”

Cleaning products that can be harmful to your dog

清潔可能對您的狗有害的產品

If your dog drinks or licks from a recently cleaned toilet bowl, it can cause severe vomiting, diarrhoea, and chemical burns. Toilet cleaning products often contain strong chemicals, including bleach and corrosive substances. Getting into the habit of keeping your toilet seat down can help to keep your dog safe.

如果您的狗從最近清潔的馬桶中喝或舔，則可能導致嚴重的嘔吐，腹瀉和化學燃燒。廁所清潔產品通常包含強大的化學物質，包括漂白劑和腐蝕性物質。養成保持廁所座椅降低的習慣，可以幫助您確保狗的安全。

Bleach

漂白

Bleach can be extremely harmful and can cause serious health issues depending on the concentration and exposure. Exposure to diluted bleach can cause mild irritation if touched or vomiting if ingested, and exposure to undiluted bleach could cause severe burns and breathing difficulties, among other complications.

漂白劑可能非常有害，並可能根據集中註意力和暴露造成嚴重的健康問題。暴露於稀釋的漂白劑時，如果攝入觸摸或嘔吐，可能會引起輕度的刺激，並且暴露於未稀釋的漂白劑中可能會導致嚴重的灼傷和呼吸困難，以及其他並發症。

Oven cleaner

烤箱清潔劑

This can be highly toxic for dogs as products typically contain strong chemicals such as lye. If your dog ingests this product by licking a cleaned oven or chewing on a used sponge, it can lead to vomiting, drooling, or organ damage.

這可能對狗劇毒，因為產品通常包含強大的化學物質，例如鹼液。如果您的狗通過舔清潔的烤箱或在用過的海綿上咀嚼來攝入該產品，則可能導致嘔吐，流口水或器官損壞。

Fabric softener sheets

織物柔軟劑板

Whether used or unused, fabric softener sheets are dangerous for dogs and can cause serious health issues. Cationic detergents are common in fabric softener sheets and are highly toxic when ingested. Ingestion can cause stomach irritation, vomiting, diarrhoea, and chemical burns.

無論是使用還是未使用，織物柔軟劑紙對於狗來說都是危險的，可能會引起嚴重的健康問題。陽離子洗滌劑在織物軟化劑片中很常見，攝入時會劇毒。攝入會引起胃部刺激，嘔吐，腹瀉和化學灼傷。

Air fresheners

空氣清新劑

Air fresheners can irritate a pet's skin, eyes, nose, and throat. Some release volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can cause lung and respiratory issues, especially in dogs with pre-existing conditions like asthma.

空氣清新劑會刺激寵物的皮膚，眼睛，鼻子和喉嚨。一些釋放揮發性有機化合物（VOC），可能引起肺部和呼吸系統問題，尤其是在諸如哮喘之類的疾病的狗中。

Ammonia

氨

Ammonia is found in a variety of household cleaning products, such as glass, floor, and all-purpose cleaners. The chemical compound can be harmful to dogs and toxic if it is inhaled, ingested, or comes into contact with their skin. Ingesting products can cause poisoning, and symptoms include vomiting, stomach pain, and severe distress.

在各種家用清潔產品中發現氨，例如玻璃，地板和通用清潔劑。如果化合物被吸入，攝入或與皮膚接觸，則該化合物可能對狗有害和有毒。攝入產品會引起中毒，症狀包括嘔吐，胃痛和嚴重的困擾。

Disinfectants

消毒劑

Some disinfectants, particularly those that contain phenols, can be toxic to your dog. Phenols are found in many household cleaners and are often labelled as antibacterial. Prolonged exposure to these products can cause respiratory issues and skin irritation, while ingestion could even cause liver damage.

一些消毒劑，尤其是含有酚的消毒劑對您的狗有毒。苯酚在許多家用清潔劑中都發現，通常被標記為抗菌。長時間接觸這些產品可能會引起呼吸道問題和皮膚刺激，而攝入甚至可能導致肝臟損害。
