VET’S VIEW: Gardens can pose risks to dogs

IT’S a jungle out there! With the recent good weather we’ve had, I’ve been taking the opportunity to enjoy my garden, which for me means a little bit of gardening, followed by reclining in my deck chair with a cold drink!

However, our dogs have a very different agenda: there are so many interesting smells out there and like toddlers, their means of exploring is to put everything in their mouths.

Fortunately, very few plants are dangerously toxic, and those that are, like foxgloves for instance, are usually sufficiently unpalatable to deter most dogs.
