Dogs, especially puppies, explore their environment by placing things in their mouths.This poses many dangers to dogs as many of the plants that people choose to grow in their gardens and also indoors can be harmful to dogs and in some cases fatal.  Cheeky Dog has compiled a list of plants that are harmful and or fatal to dogs if
chewed, eaten or brushed against.

When it comes to plants that are poisonous to dogs you should consider a few key things:

• Always supervise puppies when outside in the yard - some plants although not listed as toxic may be harmful to dogs who have allergies or are small in size

• If you are choosing new plants for your garden ask while at the nursery if the plants are poisonous to dogs if you are unsure

• If you are going to give your dogs the run off the yard - removal of poisonous plants is the best defence against trips to the vet for treatment.

• If you think that your dog has ingested a poisonous plant consult your vet as soon as possible for advice and treatment

Here is the Cheeky Dog Poisonous Plant List - Many of these plants are exotic to
Austraila but feature on the list as they are popular garden or indoor plants.
