Bailey’s 2 Biscuits…
It’s a fact of life…dogs love to eat…especially me! Actually, I love to eat practically anything, especially if it’s green and blowing in the wind. Even though this may seem like it’s fun for me, it could be dangerous if I happen to eat a plant that’s poisonous to me or my little cat friends. The list below is not complete — I can’t possibly list all the plants that are dangerous to dogs & cats. But it’s a good start. Protect your furry kids — keep all plants away from them, especially if they’re munchers like me!
