Keeping
animals as pets may be detrimental to their health if certain requirements are
not met. An important issue is inappropriate feeding, which may produce
clinical effects. The consumption of chocolate or grapes by dogs, for example,
may prove fatal.
Certain
species of houseplants can also prove toxic if consumed by pets. Examples
include philodendrons and Easter lilies (which can cause severe kidney damage
to cats) and poinsettias, begonia, and aloe vera (which can sicken or, in
extreme cases, kill dogs).
