Beware the Brugmansia
Keep Fido healthy and your garden in tact

Horticulture environmental consultant Maria Rock says it is possible to have a beautiful garden without plants that may be toxic when eaten by curious animals. In many cases, a dog or cat would have to eat a "cabbage-size�" amount of a plant before getting ill, and most chew just a leaf or two. That said, keeping these plants out of the dog-friendly yard is common sense. If your dog does get sick, Rock suggests taking a stalk from the plant with you to the vet's office.
