Frequently Asked Questions
How can I check whether a plant I have or am considering buying is safe for dogs and cats?
If you are ever unsure about whether you should keep a plant around your pet, the Horticultural Trades Association have a comprehensive list of all the plants that can cause side effects to dogs and cats. In the vast majority of cases, plants only become a problem if significant quantities of the plant material are ingested. When it comes to adult dogs and cats as they are predominantly carnivores, it's quite unlikely they would eat enough of a plant to cause a problem, but every animal is different and for puppies or for other pets that like to chew everything in sight, it is well worth checking a new purchase against this list.
What should I do if I'm worried that my pet has eaten a plant they shouldn't have?
If you think your pet has come into contact with a toxic plant, you should seek veterinary advice straight away. You can seek guidance from your veterinarian, or you can reach out to the National Animal Poison Line, which is available 24/7 at 01202 509000. Taking action quickly can greatly affect your pet's health and happiness. While awaiting advice, consider clearing any plant material from your pet's mouth and ensuring their comfort and tranquillity.
