Poisonous Plants for Pets

Plants and flowers can be nice to spruce up your house, but sometimes they just don't mix well with pets. They can be very dangerous to your beloved pets. Depending on the toxicity level of a plant, poisonous plants can produce a variety of reactions, ranging from mild nausea to even death. If you think your pet has ingested something poisonous, don't panic and call your vet immediately. You can also call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 (there is a $60 consultation fee for this service).

Below is a list of some common plants which can cause a toxic reaction to pets. It is by no means a complete list, you can find more information on ASPCA's website at www.aspca.org.
