5 spring flowers that are poisonous to dogs

Every gardener dreams of spring colours in abundance, but the toxicity in many common flowers found across the UK could make your dog ill. From sunshine-yellow daffodils to beautiful bluebells, ensure you keep your pups from nibbling on these spring flowers and their bulbs.

'It's important to be aware of the flowers and bulbs which could prove to be poisonous or toxic to dogs in order to keep them safe in the garden, or on walks, especially now that spring is upon us,' Shannon Keary, Digital PR Manager at Canine Cottages, says.

Do remember that if your pet does manage to eat a plant or flower that is known to be toxic, call your vet while getting ready to take your dog directly to them. If you are too far from your local vet, look one up located close to where you are and let them know you're on your way.
