10 Outdoor Plants To Be Aware of That Are Toxic to Dogs
When I adopted my furry, barking kid, one of the first things I learned about her was that she loves to chew on anything that doesn't run away from her. She chewed on toys, shoes, socks, pizza; you name it. I knew that flowering plants like poinsettia were poisonous to dogs, but I was floored when I discovered other common outdoor flowering plants were also toxic. Bulbed flowers, like tulips and daffodils, are particularly hazardous to dogs. Pet parents must know what flowering dangers lurk outside, even in their gardens. Call an animal poison control center hotline or your veterinarian immediately if your pet ingests any part of a toxic plant.
