Introducing pet safety tips from Healthier Pets:
As families gear up for Easter festivities, it's essential to ensure the safety of our furry friends amidst the celebrations. Here are the top four Easter pet hazards to watch out for:
1. Chocolate, a popular Easter treat, can cause gastrointestinal issues, pancreatitis, and nervous system stimulation in pets. Dark chocolate poses higher risks.
2. Plastic grass used in Easter baskets may entice pets but can lead to gastrointestinal blockages if ingested.
3. Certain plants like Lilies and spring bulbs can be toxic to pets, particularly cats, causing kidney damage and other health issues.
4. Fertilizers and herbicides used during Easter gardening can harm pets if ingested. Securely store these products and keep pets indoors during application. Always follow label instructions carefully.
