🎄Happy National Poinsettia Day! Poinsettias are a beautiful holiday decoration, but did you know they can be mildly toxic to pets? While not as dangerous as some believe, they can still cause upset tummies and irritation if ingested by your furry friends.🌺

✨To keep your pets safe:

▫️Place poinsettias out of reach.
▫️Opt for pet-friendly holiday plants like Christmas cactus or roses. ▫️Call us if you notice your pet showing unusual symptoms.

Let’s keep your holidays merry and bright—and your pets happy and healthy!🐱🐶
