🌸 “They’re pretty—but deadly.”

Lilies may look beautiful in your home or garden, but they’re extremely toxic to cats—even just a lick of the pollen, water from the vase, or a nibble of a leaf can lead to kidney failure.

Signs of lily poisoning include:
⚠️ Vomiting
⚠️ Drooling
⚠️ Lethargy
⚠️ Loss of appetite

If your cat has been near lilies, get to a vet immediately. Time is critical.

🥵With the summer heat, remember to check your pet’s water bowl more frequently!

Pets can’t sweat like humans. They cool down through panting and paw pad sweat, so staying hydrated is critical for regulating body temp.

Fireworks may be fun for us, but for pets, they can be scary, and the booms often continue well past the 4th of July. 🌩️ Thunderstorms and other loud noises can trigger anxiety too.

If your pet is showing signs of stress, don’t hesitate to reach out. We can discuss treatment options to help your pet feel safe and secure year-round. 💙
