Forum Rules | 1. Here we prefer clarity to agreement. Obviously not everyone is going to agree on a topic; here we prefer to talk out our differences in a respectful manner to ensure mutual understanding and respect. 2. Read the Stickies and Announcements. Each sub-forum may have specific rules which trump the Forum Rules in cases where there may be conflicting information. Read the rules of each board before you post so that you are clear on the expectations of the staff. 3. Respect ALL Staff and Admins. These people volunteer of their time and MUST be respected as well as their word adhered to. They are responsible for maintaining a free, open, clear and organized forum. Anyone found to be openly undermining any official ruling by a staff member will be warned. 4. Signatures: One picture only and no links. Images: To keep the forum looking neat and tidy, we ask that members insert just one picture only in their signatures. The picture should be no more than 200x500 pixels and should be of an appropriate subject, for example, your dogs and their names. Should you need assistance creating an appropriate signature, please PM an Admin and we would be happy to help! This is to ensure that signatures remain a welcome addition to our forum instead of a cumbersome distraction. Links: Hyperlinks in signatures--unless to a personal blog or photo stream of your dogs (like Flckr or Piscasa, for example)--are strictly prohibited. Please PM a staff member with any questions or concerns regarding this rule. |

| If it grows our guy likes to chew on it. Including a Rhododendron bush in our yard which I read is poisonous to dogs, but I don't know if that's just the flowers or the leaves too. I've caught him chewing on the leaves but didn't notice any problems after.
Any other warnings are appreciated. I know for example that Salmon is super dangerous for Golden Retrievers. Do Huskies have any similar vulnerabilities?
Thanks! |

| All parts of a rhododendron are potentially a problem for all dogs. Fence it off or something. Don't let him chew on it. He may not have had issues yet but that could change easily if he ingests a few leaves instead of just chewing on them. Philodendrons, azalea, and some lilies are a few more common plants that are bad for dogs. Huskies are more seizure prone so things that can trigger seizures like rosemary should be avoided if possible. I can't think of any odd ball breed specific stuff right now but others might. _________________ |

| A while back, i put together this list, which is a list of many things but not common house plants. I did find poisonous plants on the pet poison help line but didn't find a list such as I'd put together for fruits & veggies. Does anyone know of one?? _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford . |

| The biggie on bad flowers is lily of the valley.
OK, was going to copy paste list but way too long.

| Thanks for that link Amy, that's an excellent list. 'Course when you start looking at that you have to wonder if there's anything you can put in a garden that's safe ... that is one long list!! _________________ “Properly trained, a man can be dog’s best friend.” Corey Ford . |

| And they do list the plants that are non-toxic after the toxic list. Marijuana toxic, poison oak non toxic? Whaaaa? lol
OK, I'm getting rid of the Rhody. We also have mint, peace lily and english ivy everywhere.
Thanks guys! |

| I have a ton of plants that are toxic in my yard and in my house. I spray them with bitter apple spray until the new wears off. My newer dog I have noticed does like to snap at one of my houseplants that he shouldn't while I'm at work. Bitter apple spray has worked some and so has tobasco sauce. Once the new wears off or he gets tired of his mouth burning every time he gets into a plant he shouldn't he will leave it alone. My mom's put went through a phase as well where he ate the tops off of all of her tulips. He did grow out of it. _________________ |
