Product Description

We love to decorate our homes and gardens with lovely plants and flowers, but some cats and dogs are “chewers.” Because they love to nibble, it is sometimes difficult to keep plants out of their reach. Did you know that some common plants and flowers are surprisingly toxic to your pets?

According to the ASPCA, both cats and dogs suffer accidental ingestion of harmful things around the home. When they do, nearly 60% of the accidents result in emergency room visits to the vet and the bills can escalate into 1000s of dollars!

If you keep plants or flowers in your house, or if you let your pet out into your yard unsupervised, it is helpful to identify which plants and flowers are toxic and be able to take action to keep them out of your pet’s mouth.

Keep this magnet posted on your refrigerator to remind yourself – and your guests – of which are toxic and safe to prevent him or her from a potentially dangerous situation. You can also gift this magnet to new pet parents so that they are aware of what plants and flowers are harmful to their new puppy or kitten.

Dealing with a pet that may have been poisoned by a plant is a scary situation. Who do I call? What do I do? How could I have prevented this?

To help you with those questions, this magnet provides a list and pictures of the most common poisonous plants and flowers for pets along with the phone numbers for poison control hotlines should you need to contact them in the case of an emergency. In addition to 3 animal poison control phone number hotlines listed, this magnet includes two areas to write your veterinarian’s & emergency vet’s name and contact info.

Plants toxicity for pets can range from mild (vomiting and diarrhea) to severe (death).

When in doubt, it is safest to keep out of reach or remove a questionable plant or flower from your home or yard. If you are unsure if your pet ingested something poisonous, always consult your veterinarian first.

KEEP THEM SAFE. KEEP THEM PROTECTED.

Be prepared. Be protected. At TLC Safety By Design, we’ve created a collection of smart and fun products designed to help keep you and your loved ones (both the 2 and 4-legged variety) safe.

I originally started my pet sitting business, Tender Loving Care Pet Care Company in 2014. Since I was a graphic designer for many years, I created a card to give out to clients with my business name and phone number: “My Pets Are Home Alone” Emergency ID cards. My clients loved those cards! They would even ask for extras to give to friends and family!

Based on glowing enthusiasm from friends and clients, I was encouraged to start selling them online. Since their beginning, I have expanded my offerings to include plastic cards with key tags, magnets, emergency decals and eventually products for adults and children.

When people started buying our products, the responses have been “Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I’ve never even thought about that. The peace of mind this card provides is priceless!”

WHAT INSPIRED TLC SAFETY BY DESIGN TO START A BUSINESS?

My inspiration was two-fold. As I had previously mentioned, I designed the “Home Alone” cards as a promo to be given to new pet sitting clients. What precipitated that was when a friend was involved in a bad car accident.

Unconscious, she was unable to give the EMTs any information, including the fact that her dog was home alone. No one knew that she was in the hospital, let alone that her beloved fur baby had no one to give him food or walk him. Luckily, she was not hurt too bad and was able to give the hospital staff her information the next day. As I pondered this, I thought to myself what would have happened if she were not able to speak for an extended period?

That was when inspiration struck. I conceived and created the first version of the “My Pets Are Home Alone” cards. Since then, they have been through a few different incarnations, ending up as the latest version with the plastic card with matching key tag.

I am constantly brimming with new ideas – many of them are still in my head, waiting for time and money to develop into viable products. I hope to be able to bring them to fruition for you and your loved ones soon!
