Always be aware of the toxic effects plants may have on your pet if consumed.
Many popular festive plants are potentially toxic when eaten by pets. Read Dr. Patrick Mahaney’s informative article entitled “Are Holiday Plants Toxic To Your Pet?” and Dr. Ava Rose’s article “Poisonous Flowers and Plants for Pets – Plants That Can Harm Your Pet”.
