During
the Easter season, it’s important to make sure that your pets are safe. Many
popular Easter decorations and themes can be dangerous for our pets, including
the ever-popular Easter lilies and the plastic green Easter grass that often
fills Easter baskets.
If
you are stuffing Easter baskets this year, we highly recommend avoiding this
plastic grass. It can cause extreme problems if it is swallowed by your pet,
including intestinal obstruction, and it can be fatal. There are a number of
safer options available, including paper Easter grass, which will be a lot
safer if your pet gets into it.
Easter
lilies, one of the prettiest springtime flowers available, are unfortunately
both appealing and toxic to cats and other pets. We recommend keeping the Easter
lily out of your home if you have an adventurous kitty that likes to get into
things, as this is the best way to keep them safe.
If
you have any concerns about your pet’s safety or have seen them consume
something not meant for consumption, please contact us right away. We’ll be
happy to answer your questions about this.
