Toxic Plant List (veterinary, black, treatment, kennel)

[Racelady88]

I am sharing this list in the memory of Drago, a beautiful GSD puppy who left the world yesterday after chewing on a tomato plant in his own back yard. I had no idea tomato plants were toxic to dogs. Neither did Drago's now heartbroken owner.

I thought I was pretty knowledgable about toxic plants. But, I just looked at the list and found MANY plants on there that I would never have suspected. I never knew about tomato plants.

ALOE vera is on the list! People eat Aloe and drink it's juice for the health benefits.

Every dog owner should review this list.

I agree. I can't tell you how many of these plants are growing in my yard.

A warning from my kennel club:
Recently the home improvement stores have been stocking their shelves with a plant called the "Sago Palm".

It was reported on a list that if your pet ingest ANY part of this plant it will cause liver failure and that even with agressive veterinary treatment 70% of these pets will die.

Go to our website and get a look at this plant.

Another plant to avoid is the Castor Bean plant. A friend of mine sadly lost her German Shorthaired Pointer puppy after he injested just a few of these beans.

Thanks for the link. I am surprised to see so many common plants on the list, e.g. blackberry, blueberry. Not surprised about soy, since that's harmful to humans too.

If you live in any southern state sago palms are very popular in home landscaping and are DEADLY. My sister's little dog died from ingesting it.
