REPOST - INFORMATION POST ❌CYCADS/SAGO PALMS KILL DOGS! (and cats)❌
PLEASE share this info with your friends and family.
Cycad toxicity is absolutely deadly to our canine friends. It’s horrendous to nurse a cycad toxicity dog, knowing that the prognosis is almost always extremely poor. Every part of the tree is severely toxic to dogs and I personally believe that they should come with huge warning labels for potential buyers. Some dogs chew/eat plants. Some don’t. Some never have but may decide to start some day. This particular plant is not worth that risk. Ingestion results in liver failure and it happens very quickly. Even under specialist Veterinary care, the mortality rate on cycad toxicity patients is very, very high. Please, please, PLEASE don’t have these in your garden if you have dogs or make sure that access is restricted entirely. Let your friends and family know and be sure to share this info with as many people as you can. This is such an avoidable tragedy…. All of the devastated owners we’ve dealt with were completely unaware of this danger.
