12 Spring plants that are toxic to dogs

As a dog guardian, it’s important to be aware of the various Spring plants that are toxic to dog. In spring time, our walks may take on new routes or you might be spending more time in your backyard. Whatever the activity, when we’re spending time outdoors with our dogs we want to be able to keep them safe. 

Dogs are curious creatures and have a tendency to dive in with their noses to investigate the world around them. They might then follow on by exploring their environment further through their sense of taste - which can lead to unintentional ingestion of poisonous plants. 

We spend lots of time looking at the diet we feed our dogs, particularly wanting to get the best dog food for allergies if your dog has reactions to certain foods. But how much do you know about any wild plants they might ingest? In the food vs environmental dog allergies conversation, there is a lot to be said about seasonal plants.

It’s essential to know which plants are toxic and can cause harm to your dog, keeping them out of reach. In this list, we will discuss some of the most common toxic plants that dog owners should be cautious of in the Spring.
