Yes, Spring is here, or soon to arrive, and with it are pet hazards. We usually think of things that are hazardous to pets around Thanksgiving, Christmas and the New Year. But we can't ignore Easter.
Just a quick reminder....
Chocolate is just as dangerous to your pets during Easter as it is at Christmastime. Those chocolate bunnies and other goodies can be poisonous to your four-legged family members.
Easter Lilies are lethal to pets. Frankly, nothing is really pretty when it can be deadly. Either keep them out of your pet's reach or buy imitations flowers. They'll last longer anyway.
Those Easter baskets may look pretty but the "grass" in them is dangerous to your pets if swallowed. And remember that once cats start swallowing, they can't stop. Keep those baskets and their contents, including discarded candy wrappers, away from your pets and supervise your children with them to be sure that your pets remain SAFE.
Don't forget to keep ribbon decorations from flowers and candy baskets away from your pets.
Remember that xylotol, the ingredient in chewing gum, can be found in other products. Read labels but just to be safe, keep those goodies for humans out of your pet's reach.
A little preparation and caution can save you and your pet a trip to the emergency hospital and a possibly fatal outcome.
Enjoy the Spring holidays!
