Dogs love to explore. They love to sniff, taste and scratch their environment. Unfortunately, there are some things that are dangerous to dogs. So before your dog comes into your home or before you bring home a new plant, take some time to make sure your dog’s living areas are free of poisons of all kinds – including poisonous plants.
Some poisons are obvious, like chemicals, cleaners, antifreeze and medicines; read about Home Safety for more on these poisons. However, some poisons are harder to spot, like particular plants. The plants listed below range from mildly irritating to downright dangerous to a dog. Since the age, breed and size of your dog can change the effect these plants will have, please speak to your veterinarian about any concerns.
