UPDATE 8/9/23 thank you to everyone for sharing. we hope this helps everyone to be more aware of what plants they have - there are many plants toxic to dogs and cats. Check with your veterinarian if you have any doubts about about other plants in your garden or indoor plants.

we are turning off comments now.

REPOST - INFORMATION POST (kindly provided by a vet nurse)
❌CYCADS/SAGO PALMS KILL DOGS! (also cats)❌
I initially posted this three years ago and it’s been shared quite a few few times since. I’d like to think that more people are becoming aware but I’m really not so sure 😢
Sadly, we lost another doggo in ICU this week (I decided it was best to stop counting some time ago) so here it is again
PLEASE share this info with your friends and family.
Cycad toxicity is absolutely deadly to our canine friends. It’s horrendous to nurse a cycad toxicity dog, knowing that the prognosis is almost always extremely poor. Every part of the tree is severely toxic to dogs and I personally believe that they should come with huge warning labels for potential buyers. Some dogs chew/eat plants. Some don’t. Some never have but may decide to start some day. This particular plant is not worth that risk. Ingestion results in liver failure and it happens very quickly. Even under specialist Veterinary care, the mortality rate on cycad toxicity patients is very, very high. Please, please, PLEASE don’t have these in your garden if you have dogs or make sure that access is restricted entirely. Let your friends and family know and be sure to share this info with as many people as you can. This is such an avoidable tragedy…. All of the devastated owners we’ve dealt with were completely unaware of this danger.
I’m so sorry that we lost the fight little guy. You were a sweetheart 💔💔💔

We hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving. Our office is closed today, but we will be back tomorrow morning.

It’s always tempting to treat your pet with food, especially during the holidays. Please follow these guidelines so you and your pet can enjoy the holiday without having an unexpected visit to our Emergency Department. If your pet has other plans, and decides to eat something that is not good for them, call the poison hotline before your arrival to our hospital as this will expedite the care and intervention for your pet.
