| Just recently I was looking to replace some plants we have in our front yard and the one I was looking at said it was toxic to dogs. I started looking at other plants and every single one I looked at also said toxic to dogs. There are A LOT of very common/popular plants that are very toxic to our furbabies. I decided instead of finding one that was non toxic and could live in shady areas (nearly impossible), I knew I would have to make sure Lexi never got near the plants. |

| Very sad. Good warning. Heliotrope is a common plant. I learned here how toxic azaleas are to our doggies. Our front planters are lined with azaleas. I just assume every plant is toxic and do not let my boys eat anything.

| It's crazy how many plants are toxic to dogs. I just want a small, empty backyard. |

| Me too! Before the Yorkies came into my life, I was a major gardener and planted up my whole yard. Now I dream of trading it for a plain grassy rectangle with a privacy fence.

| First thing that came up when I googled the image was this article in Snopes: snopes.com: Heliotrope Warning According to this the plant only causes liver failure to horses, so I dunno if the same symptoms could show up in a dog. IIRC there are plants deadly to cats but not dogs, and vice versa. Quote:

| Oh how sad I'm afraid I only knew because I keep goats as I have always loves heliotrope. It smells delicious, I am not surprised their beloved pup wanted to eat some. Lilah has a safe fenced space with no plant access and is only outside that space under my direct supervision - we have an irresponsibly kept loose neighbor dog, the road is neve far enough away for those fast little legs and that valiant terrier spirit is hard to trust a consistent recall on if she really feels what she is doing is right... So sad for little Goldie and her family. Amazing what these little guys can get into.

| Sadly FB and the net have become a SPAM and BS dumping depot. I would take caution with any plant etc.
