Did you know that there are several types of flowers and other plant life that can cause harm to your Golden Retriever? Talk with your vet to find out if any of the plants around your home are harmful to your Golden. Researchers have found nearly 700 types of plants that may be harmful to dogs and cats 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 Golden may have ingested a toxic plant, call your vet right away. For a complete list of both toxic and non-toxic plants, consult with your local veterinarian Lafayette, LA.
