*Garden supplies, such as insecticides, fertilizers, and snail bait.
oisonous plants: Many plants in live or dried forms are toxic. Even food items like dried onions can cause problems in pets.
*Pennies can contain zinc, which can cause vomiting, anemia, and even death if ingested.
*Chocolate: As little as one ounce of unsweetened (baker's) chocolate may poison a small dog. Milk chocolate isn't as toxic, and if ingested in reasonable quantities there is no cause for alarm. Many dogs, however, ingest unreasonable quantities and may be poisoned.
*Antifreeze has a sweet taste to dogs and cats, and they may lick it off the ground. As little as one teaspoonful (easily available from a radiator boil over) can lead to irreversible kidney damage and death in a small dog or cat.
*Medications: Some medications that are safe for us are not safe for pets: Tylenol (acetaminophen) is deadly poison to cats; No-Doz may cause convulsions in both cats and dogs; Solarcaine may cause anemia in cats; Advil (ibuprofen) may cause kidney damage or gastric ulcers in dogs.

Copy N' Pasted from a reptable veterinary web site.

Alcoholic drinks contain a lot of ethanol (ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol). Typical alcohol percentages for alcoholic beverages are: beer at 3% to 5% ethanol, wine at 9% to 12%, and whiskey at 40% to 90%. By reading the label on the bottle, you can tell what the alcohol concentration is; “proof” is equal to twice the percentage concentration (80 proof is 40 percent alcohol).

All poisoning problems boil down to the amount (dosage) of alcohol ingested compared to weight. when pets drink a person's alcoholic beverage that was left within reach, or that was given to them intentionally by someone, it can cause a significant toxicity problem. Within 15 to 30 minutes after the pet has drunk the alcohol on an empty stomach (or within 1 to 2 hours on a full stomach), central nervous system signs (such as staggering, excitement, or decreased reflexes) can begin. Behavioral changes can be seen, as can an increased need to urinate. As the problem gets worse, the pet may become depressed, have a slow respiratory rate, or go into cardiac arrest. Puppies and kittens are at particular risk because of their small size and immature organ systems.

But beverages are not the only concern. Accidental alcohol poisoning can occur if a pet gets into certain types of medications, because ethanol is frequently used as a solvent in medications. And fermented products, such as bread dough, can also be a problem. Ethanol toxicity is seen more often in dogs than in cats, because dogs are more likely to take steal food and drink reserved for their owners.

To diagnose alcohol poisoning, a veterinarian will run some blood tests. The only test that offers a definitive diagnosis is a blood ethanol concentration test, although other blood chemistry parameters may indicate the possibility of alcohol poisoning.

Emergency treatment is necessary for affected pets. If the respiratory rate is depressed, ventilation or some type of respiratory support may be needed. Activated charcoal is usually given as soon as possible after ingestion, to soak up the poison. Intravenous (IV) fluid therapy is usually given to improve fluid and electrolyte levels, acidosis, and hypoglycemia. For pets who go into cardiac arrest, cardiac care is given.

If the animal is going to recover from alcohol poisoning, recovery will usually be seen within 8 to 12 hours or so. Prevention is, however, best. Be aware of the potential problem and keep alcoholic beverages and medications out of your pets' reach. If you suspect your pet has ingested any form of alcohol, contact a veterinarian immediately.

Apomorphine is used to enduce vomitong.
Everclear will bond with the anti-freeze in the system and push it through the kidneys with out shuting them down.

What to do if your dog is poisoned

Try to get in touch with a veterinarian or a poison control center, and follow their instructions. If you do not have a local poison control center, you can call the ASPCA's Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 (a consultation fee may be applied to your credit card).

If you can't get in touch with either one and the poisoning occurred within the last 3 hours, consider inducing vomiting. Do not induce vomiting if your pet is unconscious, seizing, not able to stand, or is having trouble breathing. Also do not induce vomiting if the poison is a petroleum product, a cleaning solution, or a strong acid or alkali.

If the product is a petroleum product, cleaning solution, strong acid, or strong alkali, if the substance was ingested more than 3 hours ago, or if your pet is unconscious, not able to stand, or is having trouble breathing, you must get your pet to a veterinarian as soon as possible.

If the pet vomits, save a sample of the vomitus for later inspection by the veterinarian.

Do not give any liquid (other than the hydrogen peroxide if you’re inducing vomiting): liquids may move the poison into the body sooner.

Two Deadly Effects of Xylitol (common sugar substitute, especially when it comes to sugarless gum.)

Hypoglycemia
In the canine body, the pancreas confuses xylitol with real sugar and releases insulin to store the “sugar.” The problem is that xylitol does not offer the extra Calories of sugar and the rush of insulin only serves to remove the real sugar from the circulation. Blood sugar levels plummet resulting in weakness, disorientation, tremors, and potentially seizures.

It does not take many sticks of gum to poison a dog, especially a small dog. Symptoms typically begin within 30 minutes and can last for more than 12 hours. Vomiting and diarrhea may also occur.

Hepatic Necrosis
The other reaction associated with xylitol in the canine body is actual destruction of liver tissue. How this happens remains unknown but the doses of xylitol required to produce this effect are much higher than the hypoglycemic doses described above. Signs take longer to show up (typically 8-12 hours) and surprisingly not all dogs that experience hepatic necrosis, will have experienced hypoglycemia first. A lucky dog experiences only temporary illness but alternatively, a complete and acute liver failure can result with death following. Internal hemorrhage and inability of blood to clot is commonly involved.

How Much Xylitol Is Dangerous?

The hypoglycemic dose of xylitol for dogs is considered to be approximately 0.1 grams per kilogram of body weight (about 0.045 grams per pound). A typical stick of gum contains 0.3 to 0.4 grams of xylitol, which means that a 10 lb dog could be poisoned by as little as a stick and a half of gum.

The dose to cause hepatic necrosis is 1 gram per kilogram of body weight, about ten times more than the above dose. In the example above, the 10 lb dog would have to find an unopened package of gum and eat it for liver destruction to occur.

Treatment

Ideally, the patient can be seen quickly (within 30 minutes) and can be made to vomit the gum or candy. Beyond this, a sugar IV drip is prudent for a good 24 hours. Liver enzyme and blood clotting tests are monitored for 2 to 3 days. Blood levels of potassium are ideally monitored as well. Elevated blood phosphorus levels often bode poorly.
