CVE's Lily Intoxication warning poster

Curiosity might not kill the cat, but common lilies can prove to be fatal. Most of the general public, and many vets, are unaware of the danger lilies pose to cats.

In this issue is a FREE A2-sized poster for your practice walls and a free sticker. Or if you’d like us to create your own individualised poster for your practice we can replace the CVE logo with your OWN logo for a fee of $100. We have also created a free label/sticker that you can download and print out on an A4 printer. Go to the Co-Branded Lily poisoning poster page.
