Hello all, Ive been reading alot on here and one thing i have seen alot is exercise exercise exercise! So...we live in a subdivision which 1/3 is undeveloped so we have plenty on open feild space and even wooded areas, and our new puppy Chance likes to chew and eat grass and other plants. My question is...is there and plants an such that i should watch out for that might hurt him if he eats it? Thanks for any input.

Oleanders are bad because they cause arrhythmia, seizures and death, but not like classic sign of vomiting, they are extremely common because they grow fast and are low maintenance, keep your eyes open for those! They are littered all over our subdivision as space fillers in between the houses and the undeveloped areas, I even had 3 in my back yard, we cut them down but are having heck killing the stumps, then I found a new one growing the other day!

they have pink, red or white flowers, long thin leaves, google it, they are good to know what to look for if you haven't seen one. Living back east I had never seen one before moving to California, so they might be more common around here, not sure. I just know my vet recommended us removing the bushes from our yard and I didn't even have to think twice on it!
