What plants are harmful to dogs? These five plants are harmful to dogs.

Marijuana is harmful to dogs

Marijuana ingestion can cause incoordination of the dog's central nervous system and movements, as well as vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, increased heart rate, and even convulsions and coma.

Lilies are harmful to dogs

Plants in the genus Lilium are considered highly toxic to dogs. Although the toxic ingredients have not yet been identified, ingesting even tiny amounts of the plant may cause severe kidney damage in dogs.

Sago palm is harmful to dogs

All parts of the iron tree are poisonous, with the seeds containing the greatest amount of toxins. Ingestion of just one or two seeds can cause very serious consequences, including vomiting, diarrhea, depression, seizures, and liver failure.


Tulips are harmful to dogs

The rhizomes of tulips contain toxins, which can cause severe gastrointestinal irritation in dogs, drooling, loss of appetite, depression, and central nervous system system, general convulsions and cardiac abnormalities.

Azaleas are harmful to dogs

Azaleas can cause vomiting, drooling, diarrhea, fatigue, and can suppress the central nervous system of dogs. Rhododendron poisoning is severe and may ultimately lead to cardiovascular collapse, coma, and death.
