10 Christmas plants that are toxic to dogs

Holly, mistletoe and snowdrops are among the toxic plants to keep away from your dogs this Christmas, the experts have warned. While these festive blooms might brighten up our home, they can be dangerous if consumed by our inquisitive four-legged friends.

"Pets are often curious creatures and can be found chewing anything around the house, especially at a young age. While decorative plants can add a bit of a life to your interior during winter, it's important to remember that these could present problems if consumed by your furry family members," says Salman Haqqi, pet insurance expert from money.co.uk.

"Taking the necessary steps, such as placing plants out of reach or adding barriers will help to ensure that pets do not ingest or come into contact with them. If your four-legged friend does consume a toxic house plant, it's important to seek expert help and advice from your vet as soon as possible."

Remember to head to your local vet if your dog has come into contact with one of these plants. They will advise you on the next steps to take.
