Milkweed

Is milkweed poisonous to dogs? We have a lot of it where I live.

- Roden S.

It could be, Roden. Asclepias species can be potentially toxic to pets, as they contain substances that can produce gastrointestinal, neurologic and cardiac effects, depending on the circumstances of exposure. While most problematic exposures occur in grazing animals, we would still recommend not allowing your dog to consume this plant.
