Chocolate: Our love of sweets can make it easy to assume that our pets will enjoy them as well. This is not the case and chocolate can make an animal very sick. Keep an eye on children to make sure they aren’t sharing chocolate with your pets as a gesture of love.
Candy Wrappers: Treat yourself to some sweets but make sure their wrappers are immediately and safely thrown away. These seemingly innocent wrappers can cause internal damage in dogs and cats.
Plastic Eggs: These can look like toys to your pets. The danger is if they are chewed and swallowed, the eggs can cause serious intestinal problems. If you use plastic eggs, count how many you have and make it's the same number by the end of the day.
Easter Grass: While pretty to look at, shredded Easter grass is very tempting for cats to eat. Pets are unable to digest the grass, so the threads get stuck in the intestines.
Easter Lilies: These beautiful flowers should be kept away from your animals. They are extremely poisonous to pets, especially cats. Vomiting, low energy, and the loss of appetite are some warning signs. If left untreated in cats, lilies can cause kidney failure.
Easter Toys: It’s common to find these in Easter baskets. They’re fun for your kids and attractive to your animals. But small toys are a choking hazard for dogs and cats. To prevent accidental swallowing, buy larger toys and keep your Easter baskets off the floor.
We hope your family has a happy and safe Easter.
