Poison Plants

Most people don't know that many houseplants are toxic to their Maltese. There should be a law requiring a warning label on all plants that contain poison, but to my knowledge this is not the case. Houseplants are frequently ingested by small children and animals.

There are things you can do to prevent this from happening.

	Know the plants in your home and yard.
	Before buying a plant make the store identify and label the plant
	Keep plant food and chemicals where your Maltese cannot reach them
	Keep a quick reference guide on the types of toxic plants

Here is a listing of some of the more common Toxic & Non-Toxic plants that may be in or around your home.

TOXIC!	NONTOXIC
Amaryllis	African Violet
Arrowhead Plant	Aloe Vera
Caladium	Corn Plant
Candelabra Cactus	Ferns (all types)
Crown Of Thorns	Jade Plant
Cyclamen	Palms most types
Dumbcame	Peperomia
Eucalyptus dried	Spider Plant
Jerusalem Cherry	Swedish Ivy
Peace Lilly	Wandering Jew
Pencil Cactus	Hawaiian Ti Plant
*Philodendron ALL* types**	Silver Queen
Pothos/Devils Ivy	Monkey Plant
Rosary Pearls	Umbrella tree
Mistletoe	Christmas Cactus

If a poisoning should occur:
It may be necessary to induce vomiting. Call poison control and your veterinarian immediately. If it is necessary to induce vomiting, give one to two teaspoons of hydrogen peroxide orally.
