Pet Owners, Beware! Toxic Plants to Watch Out For 🚨
Recently, three adorable puppies ingested some palm seeds and faced serious health risks. This situation has reminded us of the importance of making sure our clients are aware of the dangers that certain plants, like Sago Palms, Cardboard Palms, and Coontie Palms, pose to pets. 🐶🐱
These beautiful, tropical plants may look harmless, but they contain cycasin, a toxin that can cause severe damage to your pet’s liver, and in some cases, can be fatal.
🔴 Signs of poisoning in pets may include:
Vomiting
Diarrhea
Lethargy
Loss of appetite
Yellowing of the skin or eyes (Jaundice)
Seizures (in severe cases)
💡 Please keep these plants out of reach of your pets! If you suspect your pet has ingested any part of these plants, contact your vet immediately.
📞 For emergency situations, you can also contact the Pet Poison Helpline at 1-855-764-7661.
Stay safe, and always double-check your home and garden for any toxic plants! 🌿🐾
