How many times have you heard someone say, “Be careful where
you put that Poinsettia. Your dog may eat some of it and get deathly ill?” It is true that holly and other plants can
upset a dog’s digestive system. Fortunately
it will only cause a bit of a tummy ache, but keep them out of their reach
anyway. However, many holiday
arrangements are made with lilies which may be extremely toxic to your cat.
You may have said that Aunt Ruth’s fruitcake is inedible,
and that may be the truth for your pet.
Grapes and raisins are common ingredients in this seasonal
tradition. Your beloved pet could go
into kidney failure if they ingest these seemingly innocent fruits. Tinsel is another culprit - it may look shiny
to your cat, but it can easily get wrapped around kitty’s tongue or intestines.
