Flower Safety 101: Protecting Your Paws and Petals
Hey Flower Lovers! Let's Get Pet-Smart at Basic Bitch Blooms!
Hey, flower fanatics! We're here to sprinkle some flower wisdom and a dash of sass on your day. You might know us as the purveyor of all things flowery and fabulous – Basic Bitch Blooms! But today, we're diving into a topic that's near and dear to our furry-loving hearts: flowers that make our precious pets go "Nope!" faster than you can say "Lily, leave that alone!"
Flowers have a way of making hearts skip a beat, but let's be real – some blooms might make your furballs go "Hold my kibble!" We totally get it – just like you, we're pet parents too! Meet our fur-crazy team and the real star of the show – Lily, the notorious Aussiedoodle with a gourmet taste for... well, everything!
Flower Safety for Furbabies: A Lily-Approved Guide to some toxic cut flowers.
1. Tulips - Not Just Petals, But Trouble: When it comes to tulips, it's not just the petals that pack a punch. The entire plant contains toxins that could lead to drooling, vomiting, or worse – if your Lily decides to munch on them.
2. Yarrow - Yikes, Yarrow Is Tricky: Yarrow's not just tricky to spell, it's tricky for pets too. The entire plant can be toxic, causing everything from vomiting to a loss of coordination. Better keep this one out of reach!
3. Baby's Breath - Less 'Breath' More Trouble: Baby's breath might seem innocent, but it's a no-no for our fur babies. If your pet nibbles on these delicate blooms, they might end up with an upset tummy or mouth irritation.
4. Iris - Beauty with a Bite: Irises might be the darlings of gardens, but they're no darlings for pets. If your pet munches on these, they could experience drooling, vomiting, or even more serious symptoms.
5. Larkspur & Delphinium - Beautiful, But...: These blooms may be showstoppers, but they're also party crashers for pets. Ingesting them can lead to digestive issues or even more severe reactions.
6. Hydrangea - No Hydrangea Hugs for Pets: Hydrangeas may look like dreamy clusters, but they can be a nightmare for our furry friends. Ingesting these could lead to anything from vomiting to depression.
7. Calla Lily - Don't Call in the Trouble: Calla lilies might be the epitome of elegance, but they're not friends to fur babies. Ingesting them can cause mouth irritation, drooling, or even vomiting.
8. Lilies - From Lovely to Lethal for Cats: Here's the scoop: lilies are lovely but lethal for cats. Even small nibbles can cause kidney failure in these sensitive felines.
9. Alstroemeria - A No for Alstroemeria Too: Alstroemeria might be cute, but they're not meant for pets. If your pet ingests these blooms, they could experience tummy troubles or mouth irritation.
