You'd be surprised at the answer to this, but MORE THN have found that 78% of British gardens contain plants that are toxic to cats and dogs!  The findings come as MORE TH>N and Charlie Dimmock launch a new Pet Safe Campaign to raise awareness of the issue of cats and dogs being poisoned by common household plants and flowers.

What scares me the most is how many of these plants I didn't know were dangerous!  My dog is now in her 3rd home, and each time we've moved I've checked over the garden for anything 'obvious' or what I know to be harmful to her, such as Lupins (which apparently is rarely toxic to cats and dogs) and Poppies.  But I've had daffodils and bluebells in all 3 gardens the dogs have lived at!!!

So, which plants are toxic to cats and dogs?

In addition to raising general awareness of this issue, MORE TH>N is directly campaigning for plant producers, manufacturers of garden products and retailers to provide clearer labelling to help pet owners easily identify if items are safe or harmful to cats and dogs – something that 86% of cat and dog owners would like to see.
