With Valentine’s Day approaching, most pet parents know the danger chocolate poses to dogs, but this is a reminder that certain flowers can also be extremely toxic to your pets. Some of the more popular holiday varieties include:

🌹Lilies (all varieties): Kidney failure in cats 🐈
🌹Chrysanthemums (Daisy/Mum): Vomiting, diarrhea, hypersalivation, incoordination, or dermatitis in cats and dogs 🐈🐕
🌹Baby’s Breath: GI upset such as vomiting and diarrhea in both cats and dogs 🐈🐕
🌹Daffodils: Small ingestions can cause GI upset. Large ingestions cause convulsions, low blood pressure, tremors and cardiac arrhythmias in both cats and dogs. Bulbs are the most poisonous part. 🐈🐕
🌹Tulips: Vomiting, depression, diarrhea, hypersalivation in cats and dogs. Highest concentration of toxin in bulb. 🐈🐕
🌹Roses: Although the petals are non-toxic, the thorns can be dangerous if your pet steps on or swallows the stem! 🐈🐕

Please remember to keep potentially harmful flowers and greenery out of paw's reach! Use this Poisonous Plant resources guide from the ASPCA to check any flowers or plants you are gifted this Valentine's Day: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants
