Chrysanthemums, sometimes called mums or chrysanths, are flowering plants of the genus Chrysanthemum in the family Asteraceae. Chrysanthemums can cause vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, incoordination, and dermatitis. Before bringing any plants or flowers into your home, double-check that they aren’t toxic to your pets A good resource to look up toxic plants is posted below. https://lnkd.in/dAU2GdV

Tis the season for baking and cooking! Unfortunately, many favorite fall ingredients are toxic to pets. The list includes xylitol, chocolate, raisins, Zante currants, macadamia nuts, spices such as nutmeg, and alliums like onions, garlic, and leeks. Yeast bread dough is also a huge concern if consumed by pets. It can cause ethanol poisoning and a life-threatening stomach twist as well. Caffeinated and alcoholic beverages are also toxic – including alcohol-soaked breads and cakes! So as you start to prepare for the upcoming holiday season keep in mind these things that could end up causing you a trip to the emergency room.

Balloon Fiesta is upon us! While those dazzling balloons are a sight for the human eye to behold, to our four legged friends they can cause some fright. So while the balloons are flying overhead the roar of the propane tanks are going the safest place for you cats and dogs are inside or safely secured on a leash.
