Summer is here. There are some inherent dangers that come with the season, including plants and lawn care products that can be toxic to pets.
Also, since we are talking about toxins, please remember that Easter Lilies are toxic – especially to cats.

Easter was a few months ago and many people discard the lilies by putting them in the garage or planting them outside – allowing pet exposure.

Holidays are often times that gifts are given. For some, flowers do not last long enough and a plant is a better, and longer lasting, gift. But if your family includes pets, you may want to learn which plants are safe and which to avoid.

Springtime holidays are often associated with bulb plants and ingestion of the bulbs causes the most severe illness. Summer holidays are associated with plants. Here are some of the more common spring and summer holiday plants and information on their toxicity.

Tulip (Tulip spp.). Ingestion can result in intense vomiting, depression, diarrhea, drooling and lack of appetite.

Hyacinth (Hyacinthus oreintalis). Ingestion can result in intense vomiting, diarrhea, depression and tremors
Daffodil (Narcissus spp). Ingestion can result in severe gastrointestinal illness, convulsions, seizures, low blood pressure and tremors.

Peace lily (Spathiphyllum spp). Ingestion can result in ulcers in the mouth, vomiting and diarrhea.

Easter cactus (Schlumbergera bridgesi). Ingestion can result in vomiting, diarrhea and depression. Cats can also develop staggering.

Easter daisy (Townsendia sericea). This plant is considered non toxic.

Easter orchid (Cattleya mossiae). This plant is considered non toxic.

Easter lily cactus (Echinopsis multiplex). This plant is considered non toxic.

Resurrection lily (Kaempferia pulchra). This plant is considered non toxic.

4 Paws Resort is a totally green environment for your pet. Did you know that over 90% of accidents that happen to your pets are in the home , from toxins and pesticides. All our cleaning supplies are "Green" no toxins are used in our home at all . Pets are more vulnerable than people to exposure to toxins in and around the home. Since pets are smaller, they are closer to carpets, garage floors, lawns and restricted spaces which may harbor chemical and pesticide residues. Their natural curiosity, coupled with a lack of awareness about toxic hazards, make them more likely to encounter substances harmful to their health. Animals also have faster metabolisms and smaller lungs than we do. Their bodies have to work harder to try and eliminate these toxins. Not only are they processing these chemicals at a faster rate, they are also breathing them in more rapidly.

Most pet owners go to great lengths to care for their pets, but there are unseen health hazards to pets which are commonly overlooked, yet easily avoided.

If anyone would like any information on going green in your home please feel free to PM me.
