Beauty can be Toxic (Toxic Plants)

Beauty can be Toxic

If you believe your pet has ingested a poisonous substance, you don’t want to waste any time. Contact El Dorado Animal Hospital immediately at 408-837-0800. There is also a 24-hour emergency poison hotline available at 1-888-426-4435, or local emergency hospitals in the area which we have listed on our contact page at this link.

Although it is starting to feel like summer here in Arizona, it is still technically springtime as we can see in our beautiful blooming desert. Although wonderful to look at and enjoy, there are many plants that can be toxic to our furry friends, not just at this time of year—but all year long. It is important to be familiar with these beautiful dangers so you can be proactive in keeping your pets safe.

The ASPCA has put together a handy & comprehensive list that can be sorted by animal type (dog, cat, horse), of the 10 most frequently encountered toxic plants.
