Danger lurks behind every corner

Adam Witherspoon - Tuesday, December 13, 2011

As we approach Christmas, new puppies will undoubtedly be romping around the house.  However danger does indeed lurk around every corner.  There are things around the house that can and will kill your dog if you are not carefull.  Plants, linoleum, cleaners, etc...

Here is a list of plants that are poisonous that I know of

Acorns       Amaryllis      apricot (pits)      asparagus (berries)      Autumn Cocus

Avocado (pits)      Azalea      Baneberries Bird of Paradise Black Locust

Black Nighshade Bleeding Heart Box Buckeye Buckthorn

Buttercup Caladium Calla Cashew(leaves) Caster Bean Century Plant

Cherry Christmas Cherry Christmas Rose Chrysanthemums Crown of Thorns

Corn Lily Daffodil Daphne Dephinium Devils Ivy Dieffenbachia(Dumbcane)

Eggplant Leaves Edlerberry Elephant's Ear English Ivy Flax Four o Clock

Foxglove Golden Chain Tree Holly Horsechestnuts Hyacynth Hydrangea

Indian Tobacco Iris Jack in the Pulpit Jequirity Bean Jerusalem Cherry Jimson Weed

Jonquil Lantana  Lilly of the Valley Lobelia Lupine Mango(pits) Marijuana (Shucks!!)

Marsh Marigold Mayapple Milkbush Mistletoe Monkshood Moonseed

Morning Glory Mother in Law(should have known!!) Mountain Laurel Mushrooms

Mustard Narcissus Nephthytis Nightshade Nutmeg Oleander Oak Pansy(seeds)

Peach(pits)  pencil tree Peony Poinsettia Poison Hemlock Poison Ivy

Poison Oak Poison Sumak Poke Weed Potato(leaves and stem)

Privet Ranunculus Rhodendron Rhubarb Rubber Vine Scotch Broom

Sedum Shamrock Skunk Cabbage Star Of Bethlehem Sweet Pea Sweet Potato (leaves)

Tobacco Tomato (leave and stems) Tulip Virginia Creeper Water Hemlock

So these are some but not all.  You get the point.  Be careful what your dog picks up and eats.  As a rule we teach the dog not to pick up anything we dont offer.  Everyone keep their dogs safe and have a Merry Christmas!!!
