Common examples are: poinsettia (those gorgeous Christmas plants with red leaves that look like flowers), which can cause mild irritation; hollyand mistletoe, which are moderately toxic; andlilies and Amaryllis(also known as the belladonna lily – not good),which can cause death. You really need to know your plants.

Heres a recent claim for Marley, aPekingese puppy, who ate a mildly toxic house plant. All the costs went towards Marleys $500 annual deductible ($28.34 a month premium).

Sucralfate is used to treat toxin ingestion and in this case, this was all the treatment Marley needed to get back to good health, thank goodness.
