These are the posionous plants to dogs and cats!


The Dahlia is on the list so you need to watch your puppy closely and if he shows any sign of illness get him to the vet!
Reply:Don't worry. Dogs know, even if you don't.
Reply:They definately are, i've seen a rabbit become seriously ill after eating some. The usual thing to do if you suspect your dog has eaten something poisonous if you catch it just after is cause emisis (vommiting) you can use a soda crystal or some salt water etc. If it's something that can cause damage on the way up you should never do this. If it's a while since its been eaten the vet can give you some charcoal to mix with food which will absorb the toxins. The best thing to do really is get on to your vet straight away if your ever worried about anything like this and get the most relevent advice ;-)
Reply:Just asked my husband your question %26amp; he said yes they are poisonious to everyone,including dogs,so please seek your vets help a.s.a.p.Hope he's ok.
