4 Holiday plants that are bad for dogs

We all love the holiday season. However, there are some things you might not have considered about the holiday plants around your house with your doggy around. Some of these plants can cause pain and suffering when ingested.

Here are 4 holiday plants that are bad for your dogs:

  • Poinsettias - The leaves contain a sap that is toxic to pets when ingested. The symptoms can cause nausea and vomiting.  
  • Holly - Causes intestinal upset, diarrhea, and excessive drooling
  • Mistletoe - Causes intestinal upset
  • Christmas Tree - the oils that are produced in the tree can cause excessive drooling and vomiting. 
If you do have these plants around during the holiday. Please watch your pets when they are around them. Also, keep them in high places where your fur baby is not able to reach the plants. 

We have our Christmas tree in the living area, in front of our tv, where we can watch our, Jade, when she is wandering around. 

Have a happy howliday season!

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil and Banana Dog Treats

Before the year ended I finished all the dog treats mama had made for me a couple of weeks ago. So she tried a new recipe but added a few things. Mama ran out of the baby oatmeal from the last batch. So she used regular Quaker oats and used the food processor to grind it finely. Anyways, we hope you enjoy making these treats as much as we did.  Ingredients:  1 1/4 cup Oatmeal 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil 1 medium banana Directions:  Grind up oatmeal. Place in large bowl, mix in banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter.  Create small balls and and then flatten them with a spoon Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 15-20 minutes. When done, leave in oven to cool. This makes the treats firm up.
