Spring brings us warmer weather, blue skies, and blooming plants. However, it\u2019s important to remember that some seasonal plants may be poisonous to our fur babies. Here are the most commonly found poisonous spring plants, and the signs of poisoning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dogs <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Daffodils<\/strong> – Found in gardens or kept inside, if dogs ingest daffodils or consume the water they are kept in, this could cause an upset stomach, vomiting, and can make them fatigued. The same reaction can be seen in cats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bluebells<\/strong> – These can be found in the woods, so keep your dog close during walks in these areas. If ingested these can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, fatigue and disorientation.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Azaleas <\/strong>– These can be a beautiful addition to your garden, however even the smallest amount consumed by your dog could cause difficulty breathing, nausea and vomiting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tulips <\/strong>– If you\u2019re planning to pick some up from the shop or grow them yourself, keep these away from your pup. Tulips can cause drooling, diarrhoea and vomiting. The same reaction can be seen in cats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
