We find fun and entertainment using the glow sticks. Kids really enjoy playing with them while the teenagers use them as accessories and dancing instruments during party raves and night parties. Even adults like them the way they change the look of entire party arrangement. So, on the whole each and every person of the family likes this versatile product irrespective of their ages. Every thing is alright till here.

Just think for a while, what will happen if a glow stick goes into the hands of a creature which doesn't know anything about it. It definitely does some or the other thing in trying to find out what exactly is there in it. Am I right? I think I am. You might have got my point. Since every family treats their pets as one of their family member, it is very important to look after their well being.

The glow stick is made up of some chemical substances like hydrogen peroxide, phenol and a fluorescent dye, which when comes in contact with skin and eyes of your pet cats or dogs causes severe serious problems. So, if your pet bites the glow stick the chemicals in it show some adverse reactions. The pet will be foaming at the mouth and showing signs of agitation. It sometimes causes vomiting.

So whenever you find such symptoms in your pets and find a glow stick near it, immediately rush your pet to the nearest veterinarian. After observing it he will give the necessary treatment. After bringing it to the home give the pet some water and its favorite snack to get rid of the bad taste of the chemical. Take it in to a dark room and observe any chemical on its skin. If you find any, use a wet cloth to clean it off.

It is always better to keep your glow sticks away from your pets.
