It's important to be aware of which plants can be harmful to your furry friends.

Elephant’s Ear, Begonia, Caladium, Dumb Cane, Philodendron, and Umbrella Tree are examples of plants that contain needle-shaped crystals called raphides, which can cause mouth and throat irritation, swelling, and difficulty swallowing.

Other common garden plants that can be harmful to pets include Nightshades, Datura, Poppy, Oleander, and Foxglove.

Protect your pets by preventing access to harmful plants and keeping them safe and healthy.

Dental disease can affect your pet's quality of life too. By three years old, most cats and dogs already have some form of dental disease.

Watch out for early signs like bad breath, tartar buildup, and swollen gums. Early detection is important to prevent chronic pain and inflammation.

Show your pet some love by scheduling their preventive care exam with regular dental evaluations at least once a year.

Insecticides can be hazardous to your furry friends!

Many commercial insecticides contain organophosphates, which can be TOXIC to dogs if ingested. Watch out for symptoms such as excessive salivation, trembling, and seizures.
