Toxic Plants - Ivy

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.

Ivy

I really can’t see a dog or cat approaching a wall of ivy and begin munching away, but then again, some of the things I have heard about pets eating have really surprised me, so…be warned. Ivy foliage is more toxic than its berries. While this plant does contain potentially toxic substances, the most common effects seen are mild vomiting and diarrhea.

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

Tune in next Thursday for more information on toxic plants.
