Keeping our Canine Friends Safe Outdoors: Common Poisonous Garden PlantsĀ

Spring has sprung, and in many parts of the country, that means that many of us are coming out of our winter hibernation and preparing to spend more time outdoors. This usually means that our dogs are spending more time outside as well. And, as the weather warms and the days grow longer, the earth comes alive with new plant growth. If you and your dog plan on spending more time outside, here is a list of common outdoor plants that are considered poisonous to your furry friend:

Common Vegetable Garden Plants
* Asparagus
* Eggplant
* Ground Cherry
* Mushrooms
* Onions
* Potato Plant
* Rhubarb
* Spinach
* Tomato Plant

Common Flower Garden Plants
*Black-eyed Susan
*Chrysanthemum
*Crocus
*Delphinium
*Foxglove
*Hydrangea
*Lily-of-the-Valley
*Marigold
*Morning Glory
*Peony
*Poppy
*Rhododendron
*Wisteria
​
Common Trees and Shrubs
​* Boxwood
* Buckeyes
​* Chestnut
* Red Cedar
* Walnuts

The above plants may cause a variety of reactions in your pet including vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and cramps. Some other symptoms that are more difficult for us to recognize include tumors, heart problems, respiratory issues, and kidney problems. Plants like Morning Glory can even cause your dog to have hallucinations. If you suspect that your pet has ingested one of these toxic plants, contact your veterinarian immediately. Furthermore, bring a sample of the plant so that your veterinarian can identify the proper treatment for your canine friend.

For a more extensive list of common household plants, as well as common household products, that are potentially dangerous for your pet, visit the Animal Poison Control Center.
