A young, healthy dog died unexpectedly after a visit to Mills Reservation this weekend. We don’t know this dog of his owner personally and all is still speculation, but owners are being cautioned. See the full Baristanet story here.

Here’s a link to a WebMD article about common substances that are toxic to pets. From that article:

Some of the more toxic plants to dogs include:

• Azaleas and rhododendrons. These pretty flowering plants contain toxins that may cause vomiting, diarrhea, coma, and potentially even death.
• Tulips and daffodils. The bulbs of these plants may cause serious stomach problems, convulsions, and increased heart rate.
• Sago palms. Eating just a few seeds may be enough to cause vomiting, seizures, and liver failure.

Let’s hope that this dog’s death was an accident and not someone’s evil intention.
