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:
