Which common garden plants are poisonous to dogs? From the
Editors of The Dog Daily Many plants are poisonous to dogs, and
there is the added danger that "safe" plants may have been
exposed to fertilizers, pesticides and compounds that could hurt
your dog. Animals with illnesses might also have investigated
the plants beforehand, so there are many compelling health
reasons why your dog should not consume garden plants. Laburnum
trees, mistletoe, all sorts of fungi and plant bulbs can be
toxic to dogs if they ingest them. Other potentially poisonous
plants are columbine, hemlock, oleander, yew, lupine, boxwood,
clematis, ivy and lily of the valley. In early spring, when dogs
tend to go outside more and people start working on their
gardens, dogs often wind up at the veterinary office due to
ingestion of plants. If your pet has access to your garden, be
sure to landscape your yard with plants that aren't known to be
poisonous to dogs.
