In garden season, especially, it’s important to watch for plants such as lilies, tomato plants, marigolds, azaleas, geraniums and onions. Keep your pet away from these plants, either by keeping him indoors and away from the garden, or by keeping houseplants out of his reach. If you suspect he’s eaten a poisonous plant, immediately consult your veterinarian. If possible, bring a sample of the plant for identification.

Useful Tip #6:
Xylitol (a sugar substitute used in sugar-free gum) can be harmful to dogs.  Xylitol is a sugar alcohol used in candy and chewing gum.  It is also found in some pharmaceuticals and oral health products such as chewable vitamins and throat lozenges.  It can also be used in home baking.  While Xylitol is safe for humans, it can be harmful to dogs. The compound doesn't affect glucose levels in people, but when ingested by dogs it can cause a dangerous surge of insulin. At higher dosages, Xylitol is believed toxic to the canine liver.  If you think your dog has consumed any sugarless gum or any other product containing Xylitol, call your veterinarian immediately.
