Not all of these plants are toxic to your dogs and cats, but they can still cause rashes or digestive issues if they start gnawing on them. Here are a few:
- Holly: poisonous
- Mistletoe: poisonous
- Poinsettia: rash, indigestion
- Pine sap: mild indigestion
You may want to avoid them entirely, but if you suspect your pet is having a reaction to one of these plants, take them to the vet ASAP to be checked out. Plus, these are just the “holiday” themed plants that can be harmful. For a full list, check out the Humane Society’s chart here.
