🌸🐾 Pet Safety Alert: Watch Out for Toxic Flowers! 🐾🌸

Spring brings beautiful blooms, but some flowers commonly found in indoor arrangements can be toxic to pets. Lilies, tulips, azaleas, and other seasonal favorites may look lovely in a vase, but they can pose serious health risks if curious pets decide to take a bite.

With Easter approaching, a Texas A&M veterinarian reminds us that lilies, as well as other springtime plants, are toxic to pets.

🐾 Springtime Shedding: Tips for Managing Your Dog’s Coat 🌷

As the seasons change, many dogs start shedding their winter coats—meaning more fur on your floors, furniture, and clothes! Regular grooming, a healthy diet, and the right tools can make a big difference in managing the extra fluff.

The right tools and grooming routine help make caring for a heavy shedding dog easier. Heavy shedding breeds usually have an undercoat, but most breeds shed.
