plant. Here is a list of potentially poisonous plants. |
If you think your pet has ingested any toxic plant material, call your vet, or National Poison Control Center, immediately: 888.426.4435 | |

What you don't know
(about dog treats) can hurt your dog!
|
Grapes and raisins can have a fatal effect on your pet. Symptoms of
poisoning include vomiting, kidney failure, diarrhea, lethargy and
abdominal pain. If your dog has ingested grapes or raisins, bring
him to your vet immediately! |
The other favorites of dogs and humans alike is chocolate. As much as they love it, chocolate contains
caffeine and theobromine, which will accelerate your pet's heartbeat to dangerous
highs, often fatally. Vomiting, diarrhea, increased heart rate,
heart arrhythmias, muscle tremors, rapid breathing, hyperactivity,
and seizures are signs that your dog has been poisoned. This also
includes caffeinated beverages such as sodas, teas, and coffees.

operation and removed a large green lump from Beau's intestine.
"She handed it to me, asked me if I knew what this is, and I said, 'Yes,
that's a Greenie...'" The package says Greenies are "100 percent edible" but a company spokes-woman told us they are "85 percent digestible." Read more.. |
