Hey lady, keep your lipstick away from that Labrador!
Dogs are ingesting the hormone-warping chemicals commonly found in makeup, creams and shampoos — and it could be making them sick, according to a new study.
New York State Department of Health researchers tested dogs’ and cats’ food and pee for the cheap preservatives known as “parabens” — which have been shown to have potentially harmful affects on health, according to their report.
They found that kitties mostly ingest parabens through cat food — with dry food containing more than wet — but pooches are also exposed to other sources of the po compound.
They say it could explain why dogs who spend more time indoors are more likely to get sick with diabetes, hypothyroidism and kidney disease.
