Let's dive into the pet-safe side of Valentine's Day because, let's face it, our pets are our real soulmates! 🐾❤️ In this blog post, we're spicing up the month with pet-friendly flowers and treats. Get ready for a pawsitively romantic ride through February!
Petal Power: Blooms that Won't Bite! 🌹🌻🌸
Valentine's Day without flowers? Unthinkable! Here's your guide to blossoms that will make both your heart and your pet's tail wag:
1. Roses 🌹: The OG symbol of love, safe for both your four-legged and two-legged loves.
2. Sunflowers 🌻: Bright, cheery, and won't put a damper on your pet's day.
3. Orchids 🌸: Elegant and pet-safe, perfect for your floral arrangements.
But beware of these floral foes:
1. Lilies 🌺: A no-no for cats; they can cause kidney issues. Keep them far from feline reach.
2. Tulips 🌷: Not a top choice for snacks; they might upset your pet's stomach.
3. Daffodils 🌼: Ingesting these can lead to a drama-filled day of vomiting and diarrhea.
*The list goes on... these are just some of the more common flowers that are used in bouquets that can potentially do the most damage*
ALL parts of a lily plant are toxic to cats, even the stem and leaves! Always keep pet-toxic flowers out of reach...or better yet, out of your home... and if your pet turns into a botanist, consult your vet immediately!

Valentine's Day isn't complete without indulging your sweet tooth, but what about your furry friend's sweet tooth? Here's the scoop on pet-safe alternatives:
1. Carob Treats 🍪: Because chocolate is a no-go, but carob is a YES-YES for your pup's taste buds! (Carob Treats are chocolate alternative treats that are safe for dogs.)
