Easter is my favorite time of the year, but holidays can also be a little stressful for pet owners if we don't carefully and intentionally set aside time to prepare our pets for them! Focus on church, family, and fun without stressing about your pet with these helpful Easter safety and training tips.


Easter Safety Tips for Pets

  • Avoid lilies: Various types of lilies are toxic to dogs and cats. Easter Lilies are especially toxic to cats, while other lilies are toxic to dogs. The easiest way to keep your pet safe is to keep all lilies out of your home!

  • Keep chocolate out of reach: While most pet owners know not to let their pets eat chocolate, Easter presents a lot of opportunities for chocolate to wind up within your pet's reach. If you do indoor egg hunts, make sure that all eggs with candy are found and removed before your pet gets access to the room. Keep Easter baskets and all chocolate closed away so your pet doesn't manage to get into it when you aren't looking!

  • Avoid sugar-free table scraps: Since Easter falls in the spring and summer weather and beach bodies are just around the bend, many of us opt for healthier foods at Easter time. Unfortunately, while some sugar-free foods may seem healthy, they may contain artificial sweeteners like xylitol (also sometimes listed as birch sugar in ingredient lists) that are toxic to pets. Avoid feeding your pet table scraps to ensure you aren't feeding them something toxic.


the words "plastic grass" in a red circle with a line through it, Easter Safety & Training Tips for Pets, Easter for Cats, Easter for Dogs, Adventure Dog, Adventure Cat, Cat Training, Dog Training

  • Avoid plastic Easter grass: Plastic Easter grass has far more cons than pros.

1. It makes a huge mess!

2. It isn't eco-friendly! Paper grass is biodegradable and won't eventually wind up in our ecosystems.

3. Pets may play with and/or ingest grass. Ingested plastic Easter grass may eventually require surgery due to intestinal perforation.
