Easter has come and gone. It’s important to keep your pets safe after the Easter holiday. If your household is like many others, you will want to be sure to keep any remnants of the Easter holiday picked up around your home. Easter is a happy, joyous time for many families. Do not let it be one that you will want to forget. We have compiled a list of things that you will want to look out for.

That “fake” green grass that arrives in Easter baskets all across the globe can be a death sentence for your pet. Pets have a difficult time digesting this fake, plastic grass. Make sure it is picked up and not embedded in your carpeting. A good vacuum can take care of any “fake” grass remnants and give your carpet a good overhaul.

Cat owners will want to take note of how dangerous Easter lilies are. A good rule of thumb to follow for cat owners is to not bring Easter lilies or any lily into the home.

Many types of lilies are poisonous to cats, which makes lilies a plant to keep out of a cat owner’s home.

If you and your family decided to have an Easter egg hunt and hid eggs out in the yard or around your home. Take a swing through every room and your yard. These pesky, bright colored eggs can hide and can be hard on the intestines of your dog. Not only will the plastic egg be tempting, but just imagine the damage the candy or treats you have inside the egg could do to your pet. Some families also put coins in these eggs, which will not set well with the intestines of your family dog.

Make Easter a pleasant memory by taking precautions the day after Easter so you won’t have problems with your pets. Keep everything in the Easter baskets and make sure your yard and rooms are 100% free of Easter remnants. If you find a few too many things around that are damaging to your pets, it’s a good idea to make note of it for next year. By taking the time to plan the Easter holiday with your pets in mind, Easter can be a fun memory for years to come.
