Spring: Safe Plants for Dogs and Cats!

Nature is slowly awakening. The first blooms can already be admired and the buds peep out from the branches of the trees.

When it comes to toxic and poisonous plants, not all pets experience the same effects from unauthorized nibbling. For example, while a day lily may not affect a dog, a curious cat can suffer from vomiting, kidney failure, or even death after ingesting the common garden plant. There are many beautiful ornamental plants that are non-toxic to cats and dogs.
