When it comes to poison oak problems, animals have a better time than us. They have proven to be more resistant to urushiol, the toxin which causes a strong allergic reaction in the skin. If you have a cat or a dog, you shouldn’t be concerned of a rash, but still it is dangerous for a pet to come in contact with poison oak.
Why?
Well, urushiol gets transmitted pretty easily by contact, which means you’ll have urushiol walking around your house freely!
And you know what could happen if you pet your dog or if he sits on your chair right?
The best thing you can do, if you know there is poison oak around your house, is to first keep the dog indoors, and then called a specialized gardening company to remove the plants around your house.
