โจ THIS OR THAT โจ
Which plant is safe for your dog โ azalea or snapdragon?
The snapdragon is safe and non-toxic for your dog! These beautiful garden flowers pose no poisoning risks if your dog sniffs, licks or lightly nibbles them ๐ถ
Every part of an azalea plant (including the leaves, flowers, stems and nectar) is very toxic to dogs! Azalea plants contain grayanotoxins, a powerful poison that causes severe heart, nerve and muscle problems. Even a tiny amount of an azalea is enough to make a dog very sick!
Signs of azalea toxicity usually start within 20 minutes to 2 hours after ingestion and include; drooling, vomiting, stomach pain, inappetence, weakness and trouble walking, shaking and change in heartrate.
If you have azaleas in your home or garden and your dog starts to show any of these signs, please call our clinic on 1800 387 543 ๐
