East lilies are here – but be careful if you have a pet.

If you are giving or receiving beautiful Easter lilies this weekend, keep this in mind. 

The FDA is reminding pet owners that Easter lilies are toxic to cats. Unfortunately, cats may be attracted to them. Even just licking a few pollen grains off their nose or fur could pose a serious problem. Some lilies are toxic to dogs too.

If you have lilies in the house, keep them up high and away from your pets. If you’re giving lilies as a gift, be sure to let that person know about the potential danger to their pets.
