Some of our most beautiful and useful plants are deadly to our dogs and cats, so it pays to be aware of the risks and keep your inquisitive pets well away from them.
This list contains plants that have been reported as having systemic effects on animals and/or intense effects on the gastrointestinal tract. Please note that the information contained this list is not meant to be all-inclusive, but rather a spotlight on the most frequently encountered plants.
We recommend fencing off potentially dangerous plants from puppies and kittens especially. Be very wary of pups and kittens near any indoor plant, and any cut flowers (especially liliums for cats). Try to train your pets not to chew any garden plants or indoor plants. If you suspect a plant has made your pet ill, don’t delay – take them straight to the vet, along with a sample of the plant, for identification.
If you think your pet has ingested a toxic plant, it may be a medical emergency so please call your local veterinarian or a vet hospital.
