Toxic Plants

25/2/2014

0 Comments

 
As pet owners, we all know how easy it is for our pooches to get into things they shouldn’t. One of the most common things we seem to forget is the plants in our gardens can be harmful too! Keep an eye out for our upcoming blogs over the next few weeks and make sure your pets don’t have access to any of the mentioned plants.

Aloe vera
Although great for burns and healing with human, Aloe  Vera is extremely toxic to both dogs and cats. Make sure it always kept of reach from your pets.
The reason Aleo Vera is dangerous for our pets is because it contain
s anthraquinone glycosides which are purgatives (medications that encourage bowel movements) Once eaten by your pet these glycosides are metabolized by bacteria in the intestines which causes increased mucus productions and water in the colon. Symptoms can include vomiting, diarrhoea, changes in urine colour and anorexia.


A Vet should ALWAYS be consulted immediately if you fear your pet has eaten any kind of toxin.
