Keep Your Pet Safe!

So this past week, I was watching a friend's puppy while she was out of town. Watching the dog play in the backyard, I saw him pick up some kind of fruit and just carry it around. Although he didn't eat it or break the fruit's skin, it occurred to me that maybe I should look up what kinds of fruits are toxic to dogs. Lo and behold, the seeds of that fruit were! Thankfully, I got the fruit away from him before he could eat any of it, but this knowledge scared me enough to look up some other toxic foods and plants that can adversely affect your pet.

Below I've provided a list of some foods that many pet owners probably don't realize are poisonous for their pets. Please keep a careful lookout for your pet's health! So many things that people can eat and be around are very dangerous for your pets!

Apricots
Cherries
Peaches
Plums

Please make sure you keep your backyard and your home safe for your pets! Do the research and remember to only give your pets labeled pet food and treats. Making this a routine will help your pet live longer so you can enjoy them!
