The sun is shining and we’re all ready to take our dogs outdoors! It’s important to note which plants are poisonous to pets, so you can take them out of your yard, or avoid them while on a walk. In general, if you see your pet chowing down on any plants, it’s best to pull them away, just in case. It can be hard to tell in the moment what plant it is, so be safer rather than sorry. If you have a garden, avoid planting these so you don’t put your dog at risk. These are some of the most dangerous plants:
