Common plants that are safe for your cat

Previously we shared common indoor plants that are toxic to cats. But what are some pet-friendly plant alternatives that are safe for our feline family members? Remember that even pet-friendly plants should be monitored to ensure that your cat doesn't show any signs of interest in chewing or digging them. If you're introducing a new plant to your home, observe your cat's behaviour around it for the first few days to ensure they're not showing any adverse reactions.

Keeping your pet cool during the summer is crucial to ensure their wellbeing and some pets are more susceptible to heat than others. Here are some reminders and tips on how to do it! 1. Never leave in a parked car: even with the windows cracked, a parked car can become dangerously hot within minutes. Never leave your pet in a parked car. 2. Stay informed: Be aware of the signs of heatstroke, which can include heavy panting, excessive drooling, rapid heartbeat, and weakness. If you suspect heatstroke, seek immediate veterinary care. 3. Supervise around water: not all pets are strong swimmers. If your pet is around water, supervise them to ensure their safety. Remember to consider your pet's individual needs, energy level, and any limitations they may have when selecting hot day activities. #petsofaustralia #petsafety #petsy #dogparents #pethealth #petcare #protectyourpet #petsafe #catparents

This is Alvin’s special story ☂ Alvin’s journey in finding his furever home began when he was rescued from a Romanian forest where he was found abandoned, luckily he was adopted by a kind-hearted couple in the United Kingdom. Found at the age of 3, he took a little while to warm up to his new family but quickly became their new best friend and fellow explorer. When his parents decided to relocate to Australia, they HAD to bring their new little fur-baby along with them so a journey across the skies landed little Alvin on the east coast of Australia. After two long months of boarding and quarantine, Alvin was finally reunited with his family and is now happily enjoying many Australian adventures. Quite the little jet setter and bagging more air miles than some humans! Thanks to Alvin’s mum for sharing their story on one very special Petsypet. We’re so glad to hear that Alvin was able to find his forever home with such a wonderful family. Here’s to Alvin, the forest-found furball turned global explorer 💜 #membermonday #members #furrymembers #dogsofaustralia #petsy #petsypets
