3. Sago Palm
The sago palm is a popular ornamental plant, but it’s a serious threat to pets due to its high toxicity.
All parts of this plant, especially the seeds, contain cycasin, a toxin that can lead to liver failure if ingested.
Symptoms of sago palm poisoning include vomiting, jaundice, and increased thirst, which can quickly escalate to more severe liver damage.
To protect your pets, consider removing sago palms from your garden or ensuring they are completely out of reach.
By opting for non-toxic alternatives, you can cultivate a garden that is both safe and aesthetically pleasing for your household.
