Toxic Plants: Aloe Vera

It's something that doesn't usually cross our minds, but some common plants around our yards are in fact toxic to our furry friends. 

ALOE VERA PLANT

 Aloe Vera is harmful to both Cats and Dogs due to the Saponins that it contains. Saponins is the soap like foam the you can see when you crack an Aloe leaf.
Signs of your cat being affected from this can include vomiting, depression, diarrhea, anerexia, tremors, and change in urine color.
You should consult your vet immediately if you have any concerns.
