Toxic Plants: Chamomile

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

 Chamomile

Chamomile may make a healthy Tea for humans, the flowers and plant parts are toxic to cats. Contact with the plant can cause skin irritations. Eating it may result in vomiting, diarrhea and loss of appetite. Ingesting chamomile over a long period of time can interfere with blood clotting.

You should consult your vet immediately if you have any concerns. 

Tune in next Thursday for more information on toxic plants.
