 Plants & Other Toxins That Are Poison To Dogs

I have spent hundreds of hours over the past 20 years compiling and creating the health information shown on this page...and I'm always looking for more!  A lot of the information has been gathered from various poison control websites in order to present as complete a list as possible and links to other website pages are given whenever possible and I hope you find them helpful and easy to use.  I have a lot of people asking if they can copy this page...I prefer that you do not copy, transfer, or download the content of these pages onto another website because then I have no control over how up to date your copy would be.  If you wish to link to this page, please let me know so that I can send you the proper link information.  Having said that, I always welcome additional information to be added to the page, and feedback and comments are always welcome.  Thank you for your co-operation...I will happily share this information with anyone!  I hope that no one reading this page ever needs the information, but if you do, I hope this will be of some help!

The following is a list of plants and other toxins known to be poisonous to dogs (and cats too!).  In the case of plants some poisonous parts may only be the seeds or leaves or roots. In all cases, use extreme caution and keep your pets away from these plants. If you cannot supervise your pets in your garden, replant with safe non-toxic plants. As with most things there are a lot of other factors that contribute to the toxicity of the plants, age & size of the animal, how much of the plant they ingest, where the plant is in it's "growing" stage.  Also please read "Algae Toxicity Killing Dogs"...click on the link for a "word" download, or here for a pdf document (you must have Adobe Reader to open a pdf document).

Puppies, at least most of them, chew just about anything especially when they are teething and therefore are at far greater risk of poisoning. Also some dogs love to chew plants as well as the grasses they will chew for medicinal purposes, you must watch carefully to determine the habits of your particular pet!

Some of the toxic plants listed below will cause nothing more than a rash or itchiness but some will cause much more severe reactions (eg. swelling of the face and throat) just by your dog coming in contact with them. This can quickly become fatal depending on the amount of swelling…a quick trip to your vet is still the best idea if you see any swelling or know that your pet has ingested any of these plants.

Ascertaining the cause of poisoning is always very difficult so make sure that you take along stool &/or vomit samples for your vet and, if possible, the plant or pieces of it that the dog has ingested…try and find the leaves, twigs or berries that have been chewed. This could make a difference between life and death for your furfriend! Dogs usually will not chew on a toxic plant because they are not generally appealing but if you ever do have a dog poisoned by plants remove the plant from your property to prevent a repeat of the problem.

Ask your local veterinarian and/or nursery for more information. For plants with a number (ex. *3) beside them, please see the legend below for the most commonly known toxic effect. If you have anything, plants or otherwise, that you can add to this list, please send me an e-mail.

Also, please read our page Are you feeding your dog "Death In A Bag"? for more information about pet foods and the huge recall on hundreds of pet foods in early 2007.

LEGEND:

  *1

In most cases it is the Stem, Seeds and Leaves that cause the problems; diarrhea, vomiting&/or abdominal pain.  The seeds of most fruits contain cyanide, which is poisonous to dogs as well as humans

  *2 Can cause irritation/rash if in contact with skin
  *3 Can cause irritation/swelling in tongue and lips
  *4 Can cause abdominal pain/cramps, diarrhea, &/or vomiting. Some of these plants can cause tumors, heart & respiratory &/or kidney problems
  *5 Hallucinogens
  *6 Can cause convulsions
  *7 Other toxic effects
  *8 Buckwheat "flour" is an ingredient approved  by the American FDA for use in dog food

 

OTHER COMMON ITEMS (INCLUDING COMMONLY USED HUMAN DRUGS) THAT ARE VERY TOXIC TO ANIMALS &/OR PROVEN TO CAUSE NEUROTOXICITY IN DOGS:

 

One of the worst killers of herding bred (also called collie-type) dogs is IVERMECTIN (also known as AVERMECTIN). Vets often tell people that Heartguard and/or Heartguard Plus are safe for Aussies, THEY ARE NOT!!!! We cannot stress often enough that these drugs have killed many Aussies. The only "safe" heartworm medication that we know of at this time is INTERCEPTOR. If you own horses, please be extremely careful when you worm them, don't let your Aussies near the area and make sure that any wormer spit out by your horse(s) is cleaned up. The "left-overs" can kill your dog!
