We lost our dog to a Sago Palm and my lack of knowledge. Not knowing any better we placed one, bare roots, on our deck to plant the next day. Our dog eat some of the root, all parts are poisonous though, he passed away in less than 24 hrs. The vet said there was nothing that could be done. This video is wonderfully informative and something I've not seen gardening channels talk about. It needs to be talked about more. Thank you for doing so.
Thank you so much for your lovely comment and I am desperately sorry about your poor dog! 😞 There are hundreds of other potentially dangerous plants that I didn't include just for lack of time, so I definitely need to do a part two on this video. Thanks so much for getting in touch 🤗
Great video 🐶👏 I saw a similar video by the Middle Sized Garden channel a while back, and they basically said at the end of the day you can try and make your own garden as safe as can be, but when your dog is in other people’s gardens or spaces with toxic plants you can’t control that, so it’s a case of training your dog well, being vigilant and knowing what to look out for 👍
Fantastic advice! For me it was important to create a space at home I knew was safe for the puppy, but you're absolutely right about being aware everywhere you go. Thanks for the comment!
Very comprehensive and informative! You have a great voice and manner of presentation. Now…. I’ll probably have to watch again to get it all. I just brought home a new puppy several days ago and of course he’s into everything. I have very few of these in my yard back yard even though I am an avid gardener but several in the front that could impact the myriad of dog walkers that live my corner. You didn’t mention black walnut which I removed to protect my previous dog and neighbor dogs who might chew on the pods. (That tree was a volunteer from a neighbor’s yard but I really loved it and was sad to see it go.)
@@kathleenreynolds6492 hi Kathleen, thanks for the comment! You're absolutely right about the black walnut, but it's the nuts rather than the tree itself that is the issue - It's actually a mould that lives in the walnut that produces the toxin I believe. I considered including black walnuts but thought there's so many things like that, I should just do a separate video on common household foods you shouldn't give your dog e.g. Pecans, raisins, grapes etc. Thanks again for the comment!
I know! It was terrifying for me when I started researching and realised just how many plants in my garden were dangerous for my dog. 😱🐶 Most dogs don't eat them and it's fine, but sometimes you get a greedy pup like mine and you just have to decide whether to be safe or take the risk. For me it was worth the effort to pet-proof the garden, but the main thing is just understanding that there is a risk and being vigilant. Thanks for the comment 😊
I'm glad to have the knowledge of poisonous and toxic plants, but it's nearly impossible to have a beautiful thriving garden, that has no toxic plants. I've got 3 dogs and 7 cats. I live in Northern Michigan in the National Forest area. There's danger around every corner.
@@stacyrosa6672 gosh, there are a lot of plants in your area that can pose a problem! It is possible to have a completely dog safe garden but it takes work. I think the main thing is to just make things as safe as you realistically, and be aware of the dangers and know what symptoms to look for. There must be a lot of love in your home with all those gorgeous pets 🥰
This is so helpful. And, I have SO many of these in our yard, some inherited, some planted before watching this. Thankfully our rescue poodle doesn’t tend to eat random stuff, but we’ll be on higher alert! Thank you!!
@@ashleycifone I'm really glad you found it helpful! It can be hard to be 100% dog safe but we all just do the best we can. We have to look after our furry family members ☺️
yeah, I was so proud of my beautiful lantana that I was going all over my yard and spent $4000 at the vet trying to figure out why my dog had diarrhea all the time. Then one day I saw him eating this plant and looked it up, I had to dig it all up and get rid of it. I also have a sago palm, but thank God that’s in my front yard but toxic to all animals. I also found out that my beautiful vincas, and my beautiful 25-year-old elephant ears all toxic.
I'm so glad your dog is okay! It's scary how many things are potentially toxic!.Thankfully most dogs never bother to eat them, but that one day that they get it in their head to give it a nibble is terrifying! 🫣 Thanks for the comment ❤️
I'm really glad it was helpful. ☺️ You don't have to panic and keep your dog away from every grain thing in the world, but it's important to be aware of the potential dangers just in case you've got a puppy who eats everything like mine does! 🐕
@@nicholasryan5401 Thank you! I've always loved gardening but until we got a puppy who tries to eat EVERYTHING I didn't realise how dangerous some of my favourite plants were. So glad you found it useful!
Well done! Good research and excellent delivery. I wonder if the same findings apply to cats as well. I would think yes, however, not really sure. Were lily plants mentioned? I'll have to watch this video again. I heard they were toxic to dogs and cats. Love your pup!
@@nmcgregor1990 I know it can seem daunting, but literally THOUSANDS of plants are suitable for a dog-friendly garden eg Pansy, African daisy, Sedum.

Thank you for this detailed information. I certainly got quite an education, I never knew most of those plants were so toxic!

I have a border terrier, he ate a potato seed and was very poorly but was ok.👍👌 Fin is so cute 🥰
I'm so glad your dog was okay, Thanks for the comment. And and Finn says "woof" 🐶
Brilliant video, well done Amy!
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it 😊
Great, helpful video! 🐾
@@tomatoespoppieseverything thank you so much! 🐶
Great video and useful information for dog owners who are gardeners.

Just about all of the plants mentioned are toxic to cats as well. And yes, all lilies are VERY toxic to cats, although less so to dogs. ❤️🐶🐈
Basically every plant is not good for a dog. Good to know.
