Some plants are toxic to pets.

If you want to avoid dire consequences, do not introduce your pets to the specimens from this list.

Philodendron Mikans

The plant with heart-shaped leaves is certainly beautiful, but if it gets into a dog's system, it will cause breathing and digestion problems. It can even be fatal.

Monstera deliciosa

This flower contains insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. Its consumption results in swelling of the oral tissues, which cats are particularly susceptible to.

Sansevieria trifoliaria

The plant contains toxic saponins, which cause inflammation, nausea, vomiting and other gastrointestinal problems in animals.

Zamioculcas

If a cat or dog eats zamioculcas, they may experience diarrhea, vomiting, and irritation in the mouth. This plant is even toxic to humans.

Lily

Keep cats away from lilies as they can cause serious kidney damage. Dogs are also not safe to eat as they can cause stomach pain.

Digitalis

Foxglove is toxic to dogs and can cause serious health problems if consumed.

Snowdrops

Make sure dogs do not come near this plant as eating it can cause serious consequences.
