KEEP YOUR FURRY FAMILY MEMBERS IN MIND THIS SEASON!

Seasonal plants like poinsettias are toxic to cats and dogs. If ingested, they cause vomiting & diarrhea. Opt for artificial plants or simply don’t use these varieties.

Also keep in mind that small ornaments pose a choking hazard.
Anything that could hurt your pet should be kept out of reach or out of the house altogether.

Happy holidays!

TownHubAdmin : I know from experience that our cats are "toxic" to most house plants. Elves, too...

TownHubAdmin : Thank you for posting this. I think there's some people that don't know that poinsettias are poisonous.
