Toxic Plants: Baby's Breath

It's something that doesn't usually cross our minds, but some common plants around our gardens are in fact toxic to our furry friends.
 Baby's Breath
This sweet filler of many a floral arrangement seems innocent enough, but not so innocuous when it comes to your pet’s digestion.  
Gyposenin is the problematic toxic principle when ingested by your cat or dog. The signs of your cat or dog ingesting the Baby's Breath plant is vomiting and diarrhea

You should consult your vet immediately if you have any concerns.
