| Family Pet Eats Toxic Plant, Dies Please put this on your list of plant to avoid. Family Pet Eats Toxic Plant, Dies A Poway family shares their story in hopes they will spare another family of the loss they have experienced, 10News reported. It was innocent enough when the Anderson's pet schnauzers ate a plant in their back yard. The trouble began after Beth Anderson bought a plant called Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow from Wal-Mart and planted it in her back yard "I bought it because it did well in the shade. It had cute flowers," Anderson said. But those cute flowers are highly toxic, and in this case deadly. One of Anderson's schnauzers died and the other, Jill, was in the vetrenarian's hospital for days. The San Diego Humane Society recommends owners do their research before selecting plants for their home. It is important to keep in mind that, not only certain plants but even specific plant parts, can be toxic and can affect dogs, cats and small animals. Anderson said store officials seemed concerned but 10News checked and the plants are still on the shelves. Right now, Anderson's main concern is for other pet owners. "It's been a rough week ... it's been difficult," Anderson said. A little bit of reseach could have saved a lot of grief. A Wal-Mart spokesperson said the store is looking into the problem.

| Wow, thank you so much for posting this. I worry about Bella and plants so much because she picks up EVERY little thing in her mouth and chomps on it (last night I caught her running around with fuzz in her mouth, took me forever to catch her 'cause she likes to run away when she has something good!). We have house plants, and the leaves fall off them, and she picks them up but for the most part I've been lucky and she's learning what "drop it!" means. She has chomped a few though before I can get to her. This scares me.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Cali loves leaves from my numerous houseplants. Yesterday I came home from my parents and my husband was "watching" Cali and I see these half eaten leaves on the coffee table. I asked what happened and he said she was over by some of my bigger plants and must have found a leaf or two! I watched her all night but she didn't seem to suffer any ill effects. Mostly she chews them up and spits them out. I need to research all my plants and get rid of any toxic ones. Maya never bothered with plants so i didn't really watch what I got.

| Our Kelli never bothered with the plants or the leaves either, that's why I never worried about them with Bella when we got her, I'm hoping this is just a puppy phase with Bella (she'll be 3 months old on Valentine's Day). Our cat's been chomping on the plants for years, can't ever keep him out of them!
