Can you smell it? Ok, maybe not yet, but spring is around the corner and I’m here for it! If you are like me, you may get new plants or flowers each year to add to the collection (or, more notably, to replace the ones that somehow died under my non-green thumb). To help with that, learn about a great quick resource you can use at home or out shopping for plants and flowers that will give you answers in seconds for whether the plant is safe for your doggie. Sassy Max puts some guilt on you and spews logic on socks and plants. Also, learn about what would likely be the largest drink tab if that were a thing - in space!
If you enjoy our newsletter, please tell your buddies about it - that is how we keep our newsletter going. And we would love to feature your fur babies in one of our newsletters with your own story - please write us at [email protected]. And the time has approached - so check out the St. Patrick’s Day section for you and your dog in our Q1 holiday catalogue - it’s fun to window shop. I also look forward to you joining our Fido Family (details in newsletter). The more, the merrier.

What’s Wrong With Your Dog
Spring is around the bend, the flowers will be blooming, and your dog is... trying to eat everything. While their enthusiasm for sniffing, digging, and (unfortunately) snacking on plants is adorable, some common flowers and houseplants are basically dog kryptonite.
So what can you do? Check out our extensive list of plants and flowers that are toxic to your dog (and a list for what is ok!) - It serves as a helpful place to quickly check when you are out buying plants and flowers for planning around where your dog has access to. There is also a list for plants that are ok for dogs in general.
Besides choosing dog-friendly plants, keep toxic plants out of reach of your dog because dogs can be sneaky! For example, my dog only has access to our fenced in backyard, so any potentially harmful plant (if I have any) would be planted somewhere in the front of the house. Also, it is helpful to have your emergency vet's number - just in case your cute pup decides to taste-test the yard.
Proud Parent
We are glad you like Fido Fly and are part of this community who loves dogs. We would like to invite you to receive Fido Family, a weekly email that digs deep into dog topics such as step-by-step training guides and vet-approved health information. Importantly, it also provides guidance and tools for human health because we need to be in good shape to take care of our pups. Because our community is a dog-loving family, it’s called Fido Family, and gets delivered every Tuesday.

Environment
Deep in the Milky Way, about 390 light-years from the center, floats Sagittarius B2 - a molecular cloud packed with enough alcohol to pour 400 trillion pints of beer. That’s right, space has a liquor stash and quite a big one!
Before you plan an intergalactic pub crawl, there’s a catch: this cosmic cocktail is chilling at -175°C (-283°F) and mixed with space dust and chemicals. Translation? It’s definitely undrinkable - unless you're a very brave (or very reckless) alien mixologist.
Besides being the most fun space fact ever, this discovery hints that the building blocks of life, like complex organic molecules, exist beyond Earth. Maybe even the origins of life itself got a little “spiked” by the universe.
If aliens have bars, here’s hoping they serve a mean space margarita, but a heck of a bar tab going. Until then, cheers to the universe - the original mixologist. 🚀 👨🏽🚀

We hate inflation
With all of the financial experts warning people that everything is going to be more expensive in 2025, it’s time to lock in prices for insurance. At least one thing will save money. Maybe you can even afford eggs.
Would you rather pay $2000 or $200 for your pet’s lifesaving surgery? Pet insurance can help prevent tough decisions by helping you pay for covered veterinary procedures.
With up to 90% reimbursement, both your furry pal and your wallet will thank you.

The fib is C. Your ears never stop growing, which is why elderly people often have large ears.
