Watch out for the pits

While cherry blossoms themselves are not toxic to pets, there are a few considerations to keep in mind. Watch out for fallen cherry petals, which may contain pits if there are nearby cherry trees. Ingesting these pits could pose a choking hazard or gastrointestinal issues for your pet.

Allergy Awareness

Just like humans, pets can experience seasonal allergies. While cherry blossoms are generally not a common allergen for pets, some may have sensitivities to certain plants. Keep an eye out for signs such as excessive scratching, sneezing, or watery eyes, which may indicate an allergic reaction.

Mindful Supervision

It's crucial to supervise your pet closely during festival activities. With crowds and distractions abound, some pets may be tempted to explore their surroundings, putting them at risk of ingesting harmful substances or becoming separated from their owners. By keeping your pet on a leash and maintaining close supervision, you can ensure their safety throughout your festival adventures.
