The home and garden can be a minefield of poisonous plants for our pets. Many common plants found in your home, backyard, or acreage can be toxic to your dog, cat or horse.

In 2009, the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center handled more than 140,000 cases of pets exposed to toxic substances. Don’t leave it up to Fido or Fluffy to keep themselves safe. The information in the Petoxins application is compiled from the ASPCA’s expert team of toxicologists in an effort to keep your dog, cat, and horse safe and poison-free.

Petoxins offers:

- A searchable database of plants reported as having an adverse affect on the health of dogs, cats, and horses.

- Details for each toxic plant including alternate common names, its scientific name, an image of the plant, and a list of potential symptoms if ingested.

- Information to help you if your pet has ingested a poisonous substance and one-touch dialing to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center for iPhone users.

Use Petoxins when shopping for new houseplants or additions to your garden as well as to identify plants already in your home or yard that may be toxic - prevention is key to avoiding accidental exposure.
