What plants are poisonous to Dogs?

There are many plants that have been reported as having systemic effects on animals and/or intense effects on the gastrointestinal tract. See much more information on this handy list of toxic plants from the ASPCA: https://www.aspca.org/pet-care/animal-poison-control/toxic-and-non-toxic-plants

Also, be advised that the consumption of any plant material may cause vomiting and gastrointestinal upset for dogs and cats. Plants listed as either non-toxic, or potentially toxic with mild GI upset as their symptoms are not expected to be life-threatening to your pets.
