Poisonous Plants Guide

By Susan C. Jensen

We know Sibes are a curious lot and will find something to chew on if you don't supply something for them. So here is a list of some common plants that are poisonous to dogs.

Some of these plants only give dogs symptoms of irritations, be aware that the size of your Sibe and the amount of the plant ingested affects how toxic that particular plant can be.
