Your home might be putting your pet at risk—without you even realizing it.

In this episode of Unleashed Curiosity, Donie Yamamoto and Dr. Amber Da Silva, DVM reveal the hidden household toxins that quietly affect your dog or cat’s health, longevity, and daily comfort.

Why the word “fragrance” can hide thousands of undisclosed chemicals
Which human foods are toxic to pets (including everyday dangers like xylitol and gum on sidewalks)
