Excerpt from: Pet Dangers

Carole Jenkins

Everyone knows that a home should be "child-proof" to protect young babies and toddlers from illness and injury. Pets are also in danger from many common household sources which many people don't realize. Pets can chew and swallow seemingly safe things, resulting in disaster. Flowering plants, when eaten by pets, can also be lethal. Azaleas and rhododendrons can lead to serious problems for dogs. Vomiting, diarrhea, and central nervous system problems can result. Small amounts of Xylitol, an artificial sweetener used in sugar-free candy, chewing gum, cookies, and other baked goods, can cause low blood sugar and liver damage in dogs. It doesn't take much of this stuff to cause serious problems. There are many other common household items that are hazardous to pets. All pet owners should educate themselves about these items and the effects that they have on pets.

It doesn't take much of this stuff to cause serious problems.

This sentence is too informal to fit with the rest of the paragraph, especially because of the word "stuff". Stuff is a word that feels very informal and should be clarified to more properly represent what it is describing. "Serious problems" can also be a bit more heightened in formality to be more descriptive.
