7 PLANTS TO KEEP AWAY FROM YOUR PET
These plants can get your pet sick or worse, so if you really need to have them, move to a motel.
- Caladium. Don't know what this is, but it causes burning and irritation of the mouth.
- Cyclamen. Don't know this one either, but causes excess salivation. May be related to Lance Armstrong.
- Dracaena. Haven't a clue but causes dilated pupils, vomiting and depression. In other words, Saturday night.
- Philodendron. Heard of this one, but can't picture it. Causes burning and irritation of the mouth. May be related to Philo Kvetch.
- Aloe vera. While aloe vera juice is supposed to be healthy for people and its gel used to treat burns (not Burns), the plant is toxic to pets.
- Mistletoe. You may be kissing everybody under it but gastrointestinal disorders and cardiovascular collapse in your dog are not very romantic, you dope.
- Lucky bamboo (aka ribbon plant). Like I heard of either. Vomiting, depression, anorexia, abnormal compulsion to watch Carlos Mencia.
