HOUSE PLANTS AND ANIMALS

Do you have a new animal partner, or are thinking of getting one soon? An important thing to know is that some common house plants are toxic to animals.

To check out what plants to avoid or to remove from your home, go to: http://www.aspca.org/pet-care/poison-control/plants/. There are printable lists of toxic plants for dogs, cats and horses on that site. If you have a bunny I would imagine following the cat list would be beneficial, or you can google toxic house plants for your specific animal, if it's not a horse, cat or dog. :)

I remember a few years ago, a friend brought over a beautiful plant for our home. I wondered if it was safe for our cat and found out that it was very toxic, so I had to give it to a friend who didn't have any animals in their home.

Let's keep our animal partners healthy and happy!
