Plants poisonous to dogs and cats

Poisonous Plants for Pets

Plants add needed finishing touches to any decor. For dogs and cats, that plant could become a deadly enemy. Listed here are poisonous plants (both indoor and outdoor plants) that must be avoided if there are dogs or cats in the environment.

While in some cases, just parts of the plant (bark, leaves, seeds, berries, roots, tubers, sprouts, green shells) might be poisonous, this list rules the whole plant out. If you must have any of them, keep them safely out of reach.

Should the dog or cat eat part of a poisonous plant, rush the dog or cat to the veterinarian as soon as possible or call your local poison control center. If available, take the plant to the veterinarian for ease of identification.
