Some plants are toxic to pets. If you’re thinking of bringing some outdoor plants inside this winter, make sure they are not toxic to your pets.  This is a good time to examine any plants before taking them indoors.  We may not realize it, but we plant flowers that are poisonous to our pets. Here’s a list compiled by the Blue Buffalo Dog Food company.

• Sago Palm – It has leaves and seeds that can be deadly to pets.
• Oleander – This outdoor shrub has leaves and flowers that can be extremely toxic and even deadly if ingested by dogs and cats.
• Azalea/Rhododendron– If your dog eats just a few of the leaves, he will vomit and have diarrhea and excessive drooling.
• Tulips – The bulbs of these plants are highly toxic to pets, more so than the leaves and flowers. The bulbs are the perfect target for dogs who like to dig.
• Crocus – If consumed, they can cause gastrointestinal problems.
• Cyclamen – The roots of this plant can be deadly if ingested by pets.
• Daffodils – The outer layer of it’s bulbs have crystals that can irritate a pets mouth. Eating the stems and roots can also be toxic.

Make sure any plants that you receive as gifts are not toxic to your pets.
