Getting ready to plant your spring garden?  As you pick out the trees, flowers, and shrubs you want to decorate your yard, don’t forget about your pet!  If your cat or dog spends a lot of time outdoors, you need to be able to accurately identify which plants are poisonous to your pets.  Many common household and outdoor plants can be highly toxic to your furry friend.  Here are a few plants we recommend avoiding this spring.

Poisonous Plants:

• Tulips
• Sago Palm
• Spanish Thyme
• Rhododendron
• Yew
• Chrysanthemum
• English Ivy
• Pothos
• Castor Bean

Many of these poisonous plants cause similar effects, ranging from irritation, difficulty breathing, and incoordination to severe gastrointestinal tract and cardiovascular problems.  If you suspect your pet has ingested any of these plants, contact Bregman Vet Group for immediate care.

Vacation Tips for Pet Owners

THE BREGMAN VETERINARY GROUP

As we all know, vacations are costly. If you have pets, housing your pets in pet hotels while you’re vacationing can really add up. The Mineola Patch offers different alternatives to keep your pets entertained, fed and happy while you’re away.

Nation-wide chain pet hotels are not expensive as the super luxury pet hotels but both can put a dent in your wallet. Mineola Patch interviewed Jacqui Linder who owns a dog and a few tropical fish.

Linder says the smartest and least expensive way to make sure your pets are fed while you’re on vacation is to ask trustful neighbors to help out.

There are a few tips Linder gives to make sure both your neighbor and pet are satisfied:

• It is important that you trust your neighbor not only tending to your pets but also being in your home.
• Make sure your neighbors are not allergic to your pets.
• Sometimes pets can be too difficult to care fore. More exotic animals tend to have more needs, which should be best left to a professional.
• Make sure your neighbor is well prepared and trained to take care of your pets. If your pet needs medication show your neighbor the best way to give the medicine.

Other options include keeping your pets at your local vets.

Bregman Veterinary Group provides great medical and boarding services for your pets. For more information please visit www.bregmanvetgroup.com
