what everyone should know about dogs and daffodils

Severe gastrointestinal disorder, convulsions, shivering, hypotension, dermatitis, muscular tremors, and cardiac arrhythmias. Sounds like a disease, doesn’t it?  Well, your dog could have these symptoms if they eat a daffodil.

Those lovely everyday flowers you have in the vase in your home or around your house can be detrimental, even fatal if your pup decides to nibble on it.

The ASPCA has compiled a list of the most frequently encountered dangerous and toxic plants for pets:

ASPCA’s TOXIC PLANTS LIST

You can also sign up to receive a Pet Safety Pack which includes an Animal Poison Control Center magnet and a pet rescue window decal to alert rescue personnel that pets are inside your home. And best of all, it’s FREE!

So when you’re doing your landscaping, you may want to have a look at the list to be sure you aren’t putting your pup in harms way. But if you think that your pet may have ingested a poisonous substance, contact your local veterinarian or the ASPCA’s 24-hour emergency poison hotline directly at 888.426.4435.
