Do you own a Pomeranian or other breed of canine? If so, did y9ou know that there are certain plants and flowers that could cause harm to your dog if swallowed? Your vet can give you a list of plants that you should avoid keeping inside or outside of your home. There are nearly 700 plants that may be harmful to Pomeranians and other dogs 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 Pomeranian may have ingested a toxic plant, call your vet right away. For a complete list of both toxic and non-toxic plants, consult your veterinarians Murrieta, CA and refer to the ASPCA.
