Tips for a Pet-Safe Easter!

Thursday, April 5, 2012 - 4:00pm

With Easter right around the corner, our experts want to remind pet parents of a few holiday dangers.

  • Beware of Easter lilies. These toxic plants can be fatal if ingested by our furry friends.
  • Keep candy bunnies in check—chocolate goodies are toxic to cats, dogs and ferrets. And any treats containing xylitol an artificial sweetener used in many candies, chewing gum and baked goods—may be toxic too!
  • Decorations can be dangerous, especially Easter tinsel. Kitties love to nibble colorful plastic grass, which can lead to an obstructed digestive tract, severe vomiting and dehydration.
  • Baby chicks and rabbits are not Easter gifts. While these festive babies are adorable, resist the urge to buy; they grow up fast and often require specialized care! Thousands of ex-Easter bunnies and chicks are abandoned each year when their novelty wears off.

They go for as little as $15k but you might need to paint it do some minor repairs. <a href=http://www.linksoflondonuka.co.uk>links of london sale</a> Seems a little bit strange, doesn't it? That a pattern of very thin stripes could seemingly make a suit seem less formal? Behold the power of the pinstripe. <a href=http://www.goosecoatsalea.com>expedition canada goose</a> Fyzfrguym <a href=http://www.goosecoatsalea.com>cheapest place in gta to get a canada goose bomber jacket</a> Mqetcovlx <a href=http://www.formaldressuk.com/>formal evening gowns</a> tutjpxakc <a href=http://www.ukpromdresshop.com>prom dresses </a>
