Learn about the dangers of giant hogweed with this post from PDSA 🐾🌱

Do you know about the dangers of giant hogweed? 😨

It may look harmless, but contact with giant hogweed can actually lead to serious burns, blisters and long-term skin damage to both pets and humans.

The stems and leaves of the plant contain dangerous toxins, putting pets at risk even just by brushing against it! The toxin is further concentrated in the sap released when the plant is damaged or broken, increasing the risk. Although pets may have some protection from their fur, hairless or thin-furred areas (such as the ears, mouth and belly) can be badly affected 😟

Giant Hogweed can be found throughout the UK. Particularly common along river banks, it flowers in June and July and looks like a huge cow parsley plant. Dogs can come across it while exploring undergrowth, so we’re urging pet owners to keep a close eye when walking their dogs.

If your pet comes across it, be sure to wash their coat well with soap and water, whilst protecting yourself using gloves. And if you’re worried, contact your vet immediately!

[Image description: An infographic explaining the signs and symptoms to look out for that might be an indication that your pet has been in contact with the plant, Giant Hogweed. This includes: Sensitive, red skin, blisters and ulcers, swelling, rashes and itching, excessive licking or scratching, eye irritation, vomiting (if ingested), diarrhoea (if ingested), mouth ulcers (if ingested).]
