Poisonous Plants

7/20/2022

0 Comments

 
There are so many toxic plants that can harm your furry friend if they are ingested.  We know that this area of pet care can be difficult to navigate, especially when you do not know what kind of plant you have.   We recommend checking the ASPCA's toxic plant list before bringing any new house plants into your home.  When you are in the store you can ask for help identifying the plant or flower from staff members so that you know what you should look up.  The ASPCA's toxic plants list can be found here.  Personally, I keep the site bookmarked on my phone for easy searching.

You can also look through the flashcards below to see the most common (with a focus on the most deadly) poisonous plants and their impact on your pet if they should ingest them.  Click on the next button to view the detailed information about each group of plants.   

If you suspect your pet ingested something toxic, call the Pet Poison Helpline (855-764-7661) and your veterinarian or emergency clinic immediately.  The sooner they receive treatment the more likely there will be a positive outcome!  Do NOT take a wait and see approach, as this can lead to death.
