Rodenticides, insecticides and garden products were also most frequent.Many common plants can be harmful to pets like azaleas, rhododendrons, yews, English Ivy, daffodils and tulips. "Bulbs of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths can cause all sorts of issues from gastric upset to heart problems for our dogs," said Lindsey Wolko, founder of the Center for Pet Safety.If your dog likes to dig, you should keep bulbs out of the landscape. RELATED: Climate change is worsening allergy season, scientists findLilies will also start growing soon, and they are exceptionally toxic to cats. "Their leaves, flowers, pollen and stems can cause kidney failure," Wolko said. "Easter lilies will also be available at your local stores for those that celebrate the holiday.
