🚨Save this for the next time you buy flowers; it could help keep your pet safe!!!
This week, I was reminded to pay closer attention to the plants I bring into my home.
🌱Do you know which flowers you currently have in your house, and whether they’re pet-safe?
Many popular flowers are beautiful, but some can be toxic to cats and dogs if chewed or ingested. It’s not something everyone thinks about when picking up a bouquet.
Luna normally ignores my flowers, but recently she decided to investigate my tulips a little more closely. They were a gift, and since she’d never shown interest before, I didn’t think much of it… but it was a reminder that pets can be unpredictable.
Thankfully, Luna is absolutely fine. Still, it made me wonder how many of us bring flowers into our homes without checking whether they could pose a risk.
There’s no need to panic or avoid buying flowers altogether. Many pets won’t touch them. However, if you have a curious pet or one that likes to nibble, it’s worth doing a quick check to see if a plant is safe and placing any risky ones out of reach.
See the next picture for a list of some of the most common flowers that can pose a risk.
However, a quick online search can give you plenty of reliable guidance to help keep your cats, dogs, and other pets safe while still enjoying fresh flowers in your home.
Moral of the story, never stop watching your pets and be mindful of what flowers you have 🫣
