Joe lost his beloved rescue dog Louis this morning 😢 He was 16 years old, so we are trying to remind ourselves that he had a really good life. It could have turned out very different after being dumped as a puppy 🐾 RIP Loulou 💙

What plants are poisonous to cats?

Festive red lilies can be fatal to cats.
Christmas flowers and plants may make our homes look festive, but many are poisonous to our feline friends. These plants are best kept away from curious paws:
• poinsettia – poinsettia poisoning is mild
• lilies – all parts of the plant are poisonous
• holly and mistletoe – the berries are the most toxic
• amaryllis plants – the bulbs, stalks and flowers are all toxic
Contact your vet straight away if your cat has eaten any poisonous plants.

Christmas foods poisonous to cats

Christmas is the time to cook up a storm, but remember that your cat will be ready to lick up the mess if you spill something! Take care with hot foods as it can cause burns.
A number of Christmas foods are also toxic to our feline friends. Christmas foods toxic to cats include:
• onions and garlic (cooked or raw) – remember that onion gravy is toxic to cats, so keep it out of paws reach
• raisins
• grapes
• chocolate
• alcohol – alcohol can be dangerous in small quantities, so wipe up spillages quickly

Toxic Christmas food for dogs
Christmas is the time for eating, drinking and being merry, but lots of our favourite festive foods are
toxic to our dogs and should be kept well out of paws reach:
• chocolate – chocolate is toxic to dogs and even small amounts can cause serious illness.
• Christmas pudding and mince pies – grapes and dried vine fruits, including currants,
sultanas and raisins, can cause severe kidney failure if eaten
• onions (and garlic, leeks, shallots and chives) – these all belong to the allium species of
plant and are poisonous to dogs whether cooked or uncooked. Avoid feeding foods that
include these ingredients, such as gravy.
• alcohol – alcohol has a similar effect in dogs as it does in their owners. Make sure your dog
can't help themselves to any unattended alcohol left lying around.
• macadamia nuts – macadamia nuts can cause lethargy (tiredness), weakness in the back
legs, increased body temperature, tremors and stiffness
• leftovers – don’t be tempted to give your dog leftover Christmas food – they can include
hidden ingredients toxic to dogs and mould in leftovers can make them ill
• sweets – many of the sweets we eat over Christmas, such as candy canes, contain a sugarfree sweetener called xylitol, which is poisonous to dogs
Christmas poisonous plants
