Easter Safety Tips 🐣🐰
If you are planning to celebrate Easter, don’t forget some of these important safety tips from ASPCA for your furry friends.

1. Chocolate - This yummy treat for humans can cause gastrointestinal upset, pancreatitis, stimulation to the nervous system (hyperactivity, tremors and seizures) and elevation in heart rate for animals. Not all chocolate is created equal and the darker the chocolate is, the more dangerous it is for pets.
2. Plastic Easter Grass - Pets cannot absorb plastic Easter grass into their bodies, which means that it can become lodged in the gastrointestinal tract causing serious damage. Signs for concern include vomiting, diarrhea, decrease in appetite, lethargy and stomach pain.
3. Plants- Several plants can be dangerous for pets, but especially during Easter time the ASPCA sees an increase in calls regarding Lilies and specific bulbs that bloom in the Spring. Lilies (Lilium sp and Hemerocallis sp) can cause serious concerns for our feline friends. Exposure to any parts of the plant can result in kidney damage and gastrointestinal upset.
4. Fertilizers and Herbicides – Is it finally beginning to warm up? Many people begin gardening and yardwork on Easter weekend and include the use of fertilizers. Make sure these items are stored where pets cannot chew or puncture them and keep your pets indoors while applying the products. Always follow the label instructions and wait to let your pet out again until the product has been watered in or the ground is dry.

If you think that your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance, call us or contact Poison Control using the shortcut in the Resources 📖 section of our app.

If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to us via App Chat!

No one wants to worry about fleas or ticks being brought into their home from their furry best friend. Not only are they unwanted, but they pose health risks for you and your animals.

Did you know that they do more than just try to get under your skin and suck blood? They also can transmit zoonotic diseases that include the plague, Lyme disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever and more. Lucky for you, there are many options for flea and tick preventatives that we can recommend for your furry friend depending on if you want a topical application or to give it orally (by mouth). Below, is a list of questions you may want to consider reviewing with us before making your decision:

How often do I need to use/apply the product?
What parasites does the medication protect against?
How long will it take before the product begins working?
Are there any reactions?
Will this interfere with my pet’s other current medications?
How old does my pet need to be before using the medication?
Are there any other pets in the household?
Is there a product available for cats?

We want to keep your pets safe and protected too, so when you purchase a 12 month supply of flea/tick prevention, you will earn 2 bonus paws through our Loyalty Program! If you don't know what our Loyalty Program is check out our app!
