Many plants poisonous to dogs are very common in backyards. These toxic time-bombs range from being only mildly toxic to being responsible for more serious canine health problems. Listed below are some of the plants poisonous to dogs that must be avoided if there are dogs in your home. While in some cases, just parts of a plant (bark, leaves, seeds, berries, roots) might be poisonous, we strongly suggest avoiding the entire plant. If you must have any of them, keep them safely out of reach. Should you suspect your canine friend has eaten any part of a poisonous plant, seek immediate veterinarian care. If you can, take the plant with you for ease of identification.
