All plants provide benefits: they perfume the garden, harmonize spaces and are even essential for the lives of other living beings.
But some hide, in addition to these advantages, not so kind aspects.
There is a set of toxic plants, mainly for Dogs and cats. Either through ingestion or touch, this class of species can cause pets, from allergies to gastrointestinal symptoms, and even become a cause of death.
While many of these specimens are found among exotic plants, no fewer of them are prevalent in any garden.
Knowing which ones are dangerous for pets is a form of prevention.
El holly or cardon, pink laurel and caladium They are one of the best known for their danger to both animals and humans. Both the leaves and the fruits are toxic if ingested. Within the same group are also the Adam's rib and the lily of peace.
Other specimens such as croton, poinsettia, ivy and narcissus they affect the animal by the mere fact of coming into contact with them through touch.
As soon as the pet touches the plant, symptoms such as dermatitis, irritation, blisters, or ulcers that can bring more damaging referrals.
Although the simplest thing is to remove the "root" problem by avoiding having these types of plants in the home, it is not always enough. If the dog has a habit of chewing on plants, when you go out for a walk, it may also adopt this behavior. For this reason it is necessary to train him not to do it and thus be protected.
