Spring poses hidden dangers for pets, not only ticks that you can encounter during a walk, but also poisonous plants.

It is also curious that some flowers are waiting for pets right in apartments. Here are the plants that should be kept away from dogs and cats, and not only in spring.

There are a total of 5 poisonous plants, contact with which for pets turns into something more tragic than poisoning and general malaise.

1. Lilies of the valley

Experts warn that if a dog swallows flowers or berries, it may become severely poisoned. Further events will develop up to arrhythmia, loss of consciousness and convulsions.

2. Tulips

It is recommended to ensure that the animal does not eat the bulbs of this plant. The symptoms are similar to lily-of-the-valley poisoning, only profuse salivation is added.

3. Daffodils

Another plant that can be found in flower beds and in home bouquets. For pets, acquaintance with flowers by taste ends with arrhythmia, salivation, vomiting and other signs of food poisoning.

4. Bells

If cats are more selective in their diet, then for a dog to eat this plant is nothing. The symptoms of poisoning are similar to the previous ones.

5. Crocuses

They also grow and bloom abundantly in garden flower beds. Owners should watch their pets so that the flowers are not accidentally eaten. This is fraught with digestive problems, vomiting and diarrhea.
