As Mother's Day approaches, homes are expected to burst with vibrant blooms
Mother's Day flowers could harm your pets, an expect as warned. As Mothering Sunday approaches, many homes will be filled with colourful bunches, with almost half of British people choosing flowers as their primary gift.
But are you aware that some popular flowers could be dangerous for your pets? Dr Corinne at Petsure sheds light on this often-overlooked danger: "While flowers and plants bring joy, some pose serious health risks to our pets. Understanding what's toxic and taking preventive steps are crucial," she said. Here's what you need to know:Lilies : "Even small amounts of any part of the lily plant can cause fatal kidney failure in cats and make dogs poorly, so avoid these at all costs."Daffodils: "All parts are toxic, leading to vomiting, abdominal pain, and tremors.
"This isn't a complete list - there are many more plants and flowers that can cause harm to your pet. As a general rule, never bring a new plant into your home without checking with your vet if it's safe first."Dr Corinne says: "If you think your pet has eaten something poisonous, don't wait for symptoms to worsen before contacting your vet.
"If you know your pet has eaten part of a toxic plant, your vet can make them sick. This removes the poisonous plant from your pet's system before it has the chance to do any damage. Phone your vet for advice if you are unsure what to do.""Even though some flowers and plants are toxic, there are still plenty of options that won't pose a danger to your pet. Opt for safe blooms like roses, violets, or sunflowers.
