If you\u2019ve grown them for years and your dog isn\u2019t bothered it\u2019s probably safe to leave them. New dog owners or those of us with insatiable chewers might need to exercise caution.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dog toxic plants have a range of effects from itchy dermatitis to fatalities.

Not only do they eat your plants, but some dogs seem to like eating snails!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can mean any poison they\u2019ve ingested may harm your dog. Slugs and snails also carry lungworm. If your dog is coughing or has trouble breathing it\u2019s best to consult a vet. They may have been enjoying too many snail lunches.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>What Are Dog Friendly Plants?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the list of dog toxic plants has you frowning, don\u2019t feel too disappointed.
