It's important as pet owners to be aware of the dangers that some flowers and plants pose to our fur babies. Being mindful of which flowers are safe can help keep your pets healthy and happy.
How To Keep Your Pets Safe:
- Check before you buy- There are websites that help provide a list of toxic and non-toxic plants for your pets. (ASPA Website)
- Be aware of any signs of poisoning- Symptoms of plant or flower toxicity may vary from vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, difficulty breathing, and changes in heart rate. Seek immediate veterinary care if you suspect your pet has ingested a toxic plant or flower.
- Educate your loved ones- It is a good idea to make sure everyone in the household or anyone who may bring flowers into your home know which plants are off-limits to animal family members.
