Poisonous plants for our pets

In the same way that the newborn baby,our pets are surrounded with threatsthat commit an outrage against itsphysical integrity, from cleaningproducts passing for insecticide,pesticides, fertilizers, rat poisons ormedicines. Normally, already we try tohave all these products out of its scopebut we usually spend for high anothernot so clear danger: the plants.


Poisonous plants for our pets
There exist numerous plants that areirritating or poisonous, and the simplecontact with them can cause importantreactions in the skin. Others, on havingbeen consumed, they can cause severegastrointestinal pictures, with vomiting,diarrheas and can it will become a causeof death.


The poisonous origin can be in sheets,stems, flowers or fruits, and can bealways present or only to be in someseasons. Our pet can, incidentally,consume some of these componentsand that does not spend anything to himor can need the urgent visit from theveterinarian.


On having known this risk, the first thingthat comes our to the mind, it is toeliminate the problem of root. Namelyto remove of our house all thedangerous considered plants a littleradical (solution), but what we do notbear in mind is that if we go out to thefield, we cannot make to eliminate thewhole vegetation that surrounds us. Andto prohibit the exits to the field the dogwould be already too much. As ineverything, what we must do is tomaintain the suitable precautions.


The most reasonable thing that we cando in these cases is to educate to our petfrom kidling. First of all, we must beconscious that a high percentage ofornamental plants, they are of exterioror interior, they are poisonous forconsumption.


The dog's pups, which have tendency totake to the mouth everything what is toits scope, they are main affected. Wemust teach them that they cannot bitethe plants under any concept. If the dogdoes not pay attention, we can smearthe top of the plants with some bitterproduct. Until we do not see that ourpup proves to be completely indifferenttowards the plants, we must not leave itonly with them.
The kittens are, in general, moreselective when it is a question ofchoosing its "toys", reason for which thepoisonings are less frequent in them.


Although we have taught good to ourpet not to eat the plants that surroundit, there exist other factors that mightfavor the consumption:
The high summer temperatures and thepossible one the water absence. Theseare sufficient motives for inducing theanimal to consume any plant of tenderstems. We must be alert to never leaveit without water.


The boredom. When a dog, especially ofpup, raisin long hours alone and boring,to relax it is possible that it beginsbitting everything what it finds aroundhim, including plants.
The change of hearth. Being in a newplace can attract attention on the animaltowards objects, like the plants, thatearlier him had gone unnoticed.


The absence of space. Lacking space inthe housing increases theaggressiveness and can create thenervousness state in our dog, whatintensifies the need to break and tochew what it finds to its scope, like theplants.
