Plants that are Poisonous to Dogs
Not all parts of the plants listed below will be toxic, for example in some plants only the bulbs or berries will cause problems. But it's better to keep your dog away from the whole plant to be safe.
Most of these toxic plants will only cause mild symptoms, but some can be more serious, especially if your dog eats lots of them in a short time.
Remember, this isn’t a complete list and there are plants that haven’t yet been identified as toxic to dogs, but could still be a danger to them.
These plants can be dangerous to your dog, especially if they eat large amounts.
