Dogs are naturally curious creatures and have a tendency to explore and get into things…and puppies are known to chew on everything they can wrap their mouth around. It’s important to take into consideration what types of plants you bring into your home. More than 700 plants produce toxic substances that could potently hurt your pet. Common symptoms to keep an eye out for are mouth sores, diarrhea, vomiting, tremors and seizures. If you have a concern that your dog has ingested a poisonous plant you can call the Animal Poison Control Center at 1-888-426-4435, a consultation fee may be applied.
