Summer Safety: Pet Friendly Plants for Your Home and Garden
Summer is here, and so is Vermont’s best greenery. Your front yard and garden may be filled with blooming flowers, shrubs, and grass…but do you know how many of these beautiful plants are safe for your pets? Summer means that your pet can enjoy the outdoors more, but remember to beware of plants that are toxic for your pets!
For instance, be extra vigilant of foxtail, a plant that can attach to your pet and cause infections. Remember to check your pet over after they have been outside, looking for burrs and other unwelcome visitors, such as ticks. Checking the paws is especially important because lots of little items, such as rocks, glass, and splinters can get stuck between paw pads.
If you are planting a garden this summer, you can check this list of pet friendly plants below to make sure the plants you buy and grow are safe for your pets. That way, you and your pet can fully and safely enjoy the outdoors together!
We wish you a relaxing and adventurous summer, with your loved pet(s) by your side.
