Keep your animals safe at Easter

keep your animals safe and pleased during the Easter holiday celebrations.

1.  pass on poisonous plants. Some popular plants-including Easter lilies-are highly toxic to animals and can easily show fatal if ingested.

2.  resist giving animals as Easter presents.  Bunnies, chicks, ducks and other animals are adorable, but people often forget that these cute little animals grow up into adult animals who require a commitment to offer daily care for the rest of their lives.

3.  get rid of harmful decorations.  Easter basket decorations-including plastic grass-are harmful to animals if ingested. The turf can become twisted within a pet’s intestines and can be fatal if not caught rapidly enough. candy wrappers, plastic eggs and small toy parts can also pose a danger to pets.  use tissue paper instead of plastic turf and do a thorough clean-up after Easter celebrations.

4.  give your pet some peace.  Loud noises, erratic movements from children and crowds of people can be very stressful for animals. If your pet isn’t up for the chaos of an Easter egg hunt or family dinner, put her in a quiet area of the house when guests are visiting.

5.  keep your pet out of the Easter baskets and away from candy, including chocolate. candy can be harmful to pets, and chocolate is toxic to cats and dogs.

Amber and I would like to wish you and your furry family members a very pleased Easter filled with joy, happiness and treats!
