Top Ten Poisonous Plants for Dogs!

When we were babies we loved to play in the yard and dig up plants.  Henry brought an entire Japanese Maple into the house when he was a young.  Daddy was really happy for that!
Needless, to say we have been lucky and did not get real sick from poisonous plants.  We thought we would put a little list out there about poisonous plants for dogs.  Enjoy!  


List of Poisonous Plants for dogs:
