For any pet owner who has felt that panic after finding their companion has been snacking on a houseplant or the garden at the neighbors, this book is for you.Veterinarian Leo O Connor and Master Gardener Anne O Connor have created a usable handbook for reference. The information in this book includes the symptoms of ingestion of a wide variety of indoor and outdoor plants, mulches, fertilizers, rodent poisons, and insect killers. This book addresses certain trees, grasses, weeds, fungi, and molds. It also mentions greenhouse and building materials that can make pets sick. There is also a chapter on pools and pond organisms that can harm pets. Hazards to Pets in the Garden is full of important information such as how to understand EPA labels, what to look for and what to do if your pet begins showing symptoms, and what information your veterinarian will need immediately if you suspect a contaminant. This is an excellent hand book with detailed descriptions of each plant, along with pictures and trivia on each plant or chemical that your pet may be exposed to in his or her lifetime. Almost every page depicts a plant or a specific part of a plant and a full explanation of any effects that the plant might have on your domesticated pet.
