Easter will be here soon;

In terms of toxicity, however, lilies are in a class by themselves. True lilies (Lilium and Hemerocallis species), such as Tiger, Day, Asiatic, Easter and Japanese Show lilies, are among the deadliest plants for cats. All parts of the plant (even the pollen!) are toxic, and even small ingestions (two or three petals or leaves) can result in kidney failure. If you learn only one thing from this article, let it be this: If you own a cat, do not bring lilies into your house. Ever.

Rabies in Philadelphia. Please keep your pet’s vaccinations current and report any exposure to a wild animal.

‼️PSA‼️

We want to share an important message about the critical role vaccinations play in keeping everyone safe. Recently, the Philadelphia Department of Public Health informed us that a young dog in our care tested positive for the rabies virus.

The puppy, Trina, was brought to us late on January 18th after being found roaming alone. It is likely she was dumped by a backyard breeder or someone who recently purchased her and after seeing concerning symptoms let the puppy go. Despite our best efforts to provide her with care, Trina began showing neurological symptoms consistent with rabies. She was humanely euthanized, and testing confirmed the diagnosis.

If you or your pet were bitten, scratched, or licked by this puppy or another wild or stray animal in the area of Wellens St near North American street in January, or if you have had contact with other stray puppies who may be from the same litter, call the Philadelphia Dept of Public Health at 215-685-6742.

Rabies is a fatal disease that can spread to humans and animals through saliva, often via bites. It is preventable—but only through vaccination.

👉🏻What You Can Do:
▪️Vaccinate your pets: Regular rabies vaccinations are required by law and protect your pets, yourself, and others.
▪️Don’t dump your pet: It is illegal and inhumane and can also place the community at risk as this puppy did. See resources for keeping your pet, or information on surrendering them here: https://tinyurl.com/454cfnwd
▪️Keep pets indoors or supervised: Limit their exposure to wild animals.
▪️Report strange behavior: If you see an injured or sick wildlife in Philadelphia, please call us at (267) 385-3800.

By vaccinating your pets, you not only protect them but also contribute to the safety of our community. Trina’s story is a heartbreaking reminder of why prevention matters. Please help us keep everyone safe by staying proactive.

💉 Check your pet’s vaccination status today! If they’re due for a rabies shot, schedule it right away with your vet or

I support ONLY positive, reward-based training methods.

In a time when many dog trainers shy away from taking a clear stand against aversive methods, ’s message is bold and unambiguous:

Either you are okay using pain, fear, and discomfort in dog training, or you are not.

For Victoria, the answer is a firm “No.” And that is based on modern ethics and evidence.

Her stance is straightforward: no dog, not even “extreme” cases, should be coerced into compliance through fear or pain when positive, force-free methods are proven to be more humane and effective.

Victoria’s words are a call to action. It’s time for the dog training community to reject outdated practices and speak out against those professionals in the industry who still defend and promote them to a vulnerable public.

Xylitol is a sugar substitute found in everything from gum to peanut butter to toothpaste. While safe for humans, xylitol is toxic to dogs.
