Toxic Plants: Fig

It's something that doesn't usually cross our minds, but some common plants in our houses and around our gardens are in fact toxic to our furry friends.

Fig

Fig Plants, such as the Weeping Fig, the Creeping Fig, and the Mistletoe Fig are all poisonous to cats and dogs. If there is any contact with the skin it can cause dermatitis. Ingestion of the Fig can cause oral irritation, salivation and vomiting.

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

Tune in next Thursday for more information on toxic plants.
