Poisonous plants to dogs

Posted by Emma Griffin on July 30, 2012 at 9:46am in Plants

 

Does anyone have any specific guidelines on what not to put into a planting scheme which could cause harm to dogs?   I've done some research and there are quite a lot which come up which seem to be toxic, but in reality I don't know which are the main ones to omit from a planting scheme. Does anyone have any experience of this or any tips to pass on .

Many thanks.

    The perennial 'Monkshood' is deadly poisonous to dogs , also Box, Azalea and Daffodil/Narcissus  bulbs.

    Most dogs aren't daft enough to touch these but a puppy might, here is a list of what to avoid.

    I have quite a few on this list and my dogs don't touch them, trouble is if you only plant non dog friendly varieties you really  you limit yourself. I would avoid the worst ones, the dog probably won't even bother with the plants.

    Also, make sure you don't use cocoa shell mulch! apparently some dogs will eat this, and it can poison them.
