Plants that are Toxic to Cats and Dogs

We are often asked which plants are poisonous for pets and children. There are very few, if any, plants that are poisonous to cats or dogs, that is to say they will die if they eat them. However after conducting considerable research it seems that there is a very long list of plants that could be toxic to pets and children if ingested, that is to say, the animals will get sick if they eat them.

Most animals stay away from these plants and do not eat them. It seems to us that the best thing would be to train your pets and kids not to eat plants! Here are the lists:
