Poisonous Plants

Many house and garden plants can be poisonous to pets. The degree of toxicity and type of toxic effect varies, from an upset stomach to kidney, liver or heart failure or even sudden death. If you think your pet may have ingested a poisonous plant, please do not wait to call your verterinarian or the ASPCA National Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-ANI-HELP (1-888-264-4357).
