Happy Valentine’s Day!
Today, many of us will celebrate Valentine’s day with our family and friends. Our pets think it’s great, too – all that love, and all that CHOCOLATE! We’ve already had our first call today from a client whose pet got into the kids’ milk chocolate treats, so that sparked this memo. Please keep all chocolate and other sweets out of reach of your pets, because a small amount can have a terrible effect on your pet’s health. If you suspect chocolate ingestion, please call us right away.
On a related note… flowers are a beautiful way to show love to your sweetie. As with chocolate, there can be unintended consequences for your pet if they decide to share the love through snacking on flowers. Lilies are toxic, Baby’s Breath causes GI upset or worse, and the bulbs of flowers are toxic as well. If you find the vase or flowerpot knocked over and parts of the plants missing, give us a call!
We LOVE our clients and their pets, and hope for a safe, toxicity-free Valentine’s Day for all!
