It's a lovely holiday, Valentine's Day, filled with flowers, chocolate, and stuffed animals. But those gifts can be problematic for pets.News 5 checked with doctors at Tri-County Veterinary Hospital, they tell us the treats we all enjoy on Valentine's day, like chocolates, can be toxic for cats and dogs.Veterinarians said flowers aren't the biggest threat, but pesticides can make your furry friend very sick, and so can your love notes too."Electronic cards have a little tiny battery in them and batteries are not good to eat. It doesn't matter if they're tiny or big or in between. Batteries are not good to eat and some dogs will chew up cardboard and they'll rip it up, because they like it for some strange reason. And these battery powered cards are a new threat to pets that we haven't had in past years," said veterinarian Kate Zimmerman.News 5 also learned, stuffed animals can also pose as a choking hazard for cats and dogs, with the plastic hooks and stuffing.
