Adrian Prisk 6 Posted May 26, 2013 Report Share Posted May 26, 2013 hi all,i have just picked up my cocker just over 8 weeks old. we have a good size garden which he loves,but we also have flower beds which he seems to like chewing when he gets chance. which plants are bad for the dog? I am always there to get any thing out of his mouth that should not be in there,but if i have any bad plants i would rather get them out of the garden while he is a puppy. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
low plains drifter 10,697 Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 My mate once lost a dog that had taken a liking to chewing the greenery,it was Ivy that caused her death,some poisonous plants to watch out for-,black and white bryony,buttercup,hemlock,deadly nightshade,meadow saffron and henbane,maybe unlikely that you will have any of these in your garden,but for anyone living in a rural setting with a garden backing onto a stream or similar you never know Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Astral 253 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Well it has nothing to do with dogs, but on the subject of dangerous plants over a week after repotting I've only just pulled the last of the barbed bloody spines out my hand/arm... Don't try to catch a cacti you've dropped, just let it go man..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mushroom 13,209 Posted May 30, 2013 Report Share Posted May 30, 2013 Grapes are very poisonous Some dogs love them and will eat off the vine I used to have a dog that I used to take picking blackberries and he would eat off the bramble more than I could pick he would try the same trick with vines as well.
