If you have a Black Lab or other canine companion in your family then you’re probably familiar with how your pup loves to play in the yard, trot through flower gardens, and stop and literally smell or eat the roses. There are some plants that your Black Labrador and other canine friends should avoid. In fact, according to the ASPCA, there are nearly 700 types of plants that may be harmful to pets if ingested. Some of these include lilies, bulbs of tulips, azaleas, elephant ears, a variety of ferns, and even the aloe plant just to name a few. If ingested, these plants may cause intense gastrointestinal irritation, drooling, loss of appetite, seizures, vomiting, damage to the central nervous system and cardiac abnormalities. If for any reason you believe your pet may have ingested a toxic plant, call your vet right away. Contact your vet Portland, OR for a complete list of both toxic and non-toxic plants.
