Keep Away From Chocolate

Chocolate is toxic to pets, especially dogs and cats. Ensure all Easter chocolates, candies, and treats are kept out of the reach of pets. The darker the chocolate, the more dangerous it is.

Watch Out For Candy Rappers

Pets might be attracted to the shiny wrappers of Easter candies, which can pose a choking hazard or cause intestinal blockages if ingested. Keep these out of their reach.

Avoid Toxic Plants

Some Easter plants, such as lilies, tulips, and daffodils, can be toxic to pets if ingested. Keep these plants away from areas where your pets roam.

Easter Grass Caution

The plastic grass used in Easter baskets can be appealing to pets but is hazardous if ingested. Opt for safer alternatives like tissue paper or grass made from natural materials.

Monitor Decorations

Decorations like Easter eggs, plastic toys, and other festive items can pose choking hazards or cause intestinal blockages if swallowed. Keep decorations out of reach or choose pet-safe alternatives.

Be Mindful Of Easter Meals

Rich and fatty foods commonly served during Easter can upset your pet’s stomach or even cause pancreatitis. Avoid feeding them table scraps and stick to their regular diet.

Supervise Easter Egg Hunts

If you’re hiding Easter eggs, ensure all are found and accounted for, as pets might be tempted to investigate and potentially ingest them, including plastic eggs.

Provide A Safe Space

Easter gatherings can be overwhelming for pets with lots of noise and activity. Provide a quiet, safe space where they can retreat if they feel stressed.

Plan For Emergency Care

In case of accidental ingestion of toxic substances or any health emergencies, know the location and contact information for an emergency veterinary clinic that’s open during the holidays.
