Which Plants are Dog-Safe?

I admit it, I love the New York Post. I get it at home and cannot live without Page 6. Call me shallow. But another column that I'm obsessed with is Julia Szabo's "Pets" page. In the May 3, 2009, edition of the Post, Julia wrote about potentially dangerous plants for your pet—"Flowers for Fido: Pup-Approved Bouquets Make for a Safe, Stylish Home." In the article, Julia discusses floral stylist Cristy Ruiz's advice for avoiding toxic plant species in your home. Or, if you're like me, your undesirably small apartment.

Did you know that posies, aloe, amaryllis, holly, calla lilies, and other plants can be poisonous to your dog? Again, I had no idea. You can find a full list on the ASPCA's site here.
