Here are some examples of what plants are dangerous for your pets. If you see “Rover” sniffing about or chewing on these remove him quickly!

Tulips

All parts of a tulip can cause discomfort for your pet, but the bulb is the most toxic. A pet who has ingested this flower can develop depression of the nervous system, vomiting, drooling, and possible cardiac abnormalities.

Daffodils

The bulb of the daffodil is the most toxic part, so dogs that love to dig are at risk. Ingesting daffodils can cause vomiting, diarrhea, and large amounts can cause tremors and cardiac arrhythmias.

Amaryllis

These vibrant and beautiful perennials are popular in many flower gardens. Unfortunately, they can cause vomiting, diarrhea, depression, and abdominal pain for your pets if ingested.

Lilies

Although they are pretty, all parts of a lily are extremely toxic to cats. Even a small portion of a lily can have severe effects on a cat. Almost all types of lily can cause kidney failure in cats.

Oleander

This vibrant shrub is beautiful, but all parts of this plant are toxic to cats, dogs, and horses. If your pet eats any part of an oleander they could experience diarrhea, difficulty breathing, muscle tremors, and possible death.

Beautiful … but scary, isn’t it? And there more!

However, you will be pleased to know there are a few plants such as the Maidenhair Fern, Burro’s Tail, and Cat Grass that are safe for your pets. Although you still would not want your dog or cat chewing on your plants as least you’ll feel a little better knowing that your pooch or kitty are not going to become ill.
