Easter may bring joy to children anxiously awaiting their Easter baskets filled with goodies, but these goodies may be hazardous to your pet's health. Follow these simple tips to keep your pet safe and healthy this Easter.

1)      Keep chocolate away from your pets. As little as one ounce of chocolate can be lethal for a 10lb animal.

2)      Many flowers, including Easter Lilies, can be toxic to your pets, so make sure to keep bouquets out of the reach of your furry friends.

3)      Broken glass or plastic from Easter eggs can become painfully lodged in your pet's paws or cause severe abdominal upset if ingested. Make sure to clean up after that egg hunt to keep temptation at bay.

4)      Be careful of plastic grass used to fill Easter baskets. This filling is not digestible and can cause an upset stomach or even intestinal blockages.
