Harli! I had no idea eucalyptus was dangerous for my dog. I use an essential oil diffuser in my home every day. My dog has been sick. I’m so glad you included this in your video. Poor puppa
One thing to note with lilies - I had an incident where my cats managed to get hold of some lily leaves on a bouquet of flowers (I don't usually keep toxic plants in my house but these were a gift) and thankfully I immediately noticed they had eaten some. It will cause renal failure in cats within 24-48 hours, but if you get them to a vet as soon as it happens they can flush them out with charcoal and an IV drip. Saved both my cats lives ❤️
I've completely relied on the ASPCA toxic and non toxic plant list when bringing plants in. Its such a great resource. Their hotline is incredibly helpful too. This is one of the reasons I've mainly kept hoyas and calatheas, and steered clear of most aroids
When they say “depression” they are not talking about feeling sad. They’re talking about an abnormal mentation… usually pets with low energy or who are feeling ill to the point of not wanting to get up would be described as “depressed.”
@@HarliG Yeah, thankfully they have to ingest A LOT to get neuro issues. In my experience they usually just get an upset stomach. It’s a pretty bitter plant so most pets won’t eat more than a few leaves 🙂
I have 3 fiesty parakeets that get into everything. It's been a challenge with them. Thank you for the free trial! This came at such a great time. Currently trying to figure out what to do with my life. I'm 42 and pregnant with my first baby. I want to find something I can do from home that isn't a 9 to 5. This will be a huge help! Thank you so much, Harli! You look stunning, as always! Be well!
Last year I came home from work to learn my 2lb lionhead bunny learned to open her cage again(which had added locking parts we added shes very smart and watches how we open it) to find out she ate 2 and a half mature dieffenbachia leaves(both over 8in in length) and it felt like time stood still when I noticed. My heart SANK! I panicked calling emergency vet and they said there was nothing they could do because shes considered an "exotic pet" and recommended another emergency vet over my state line in PA who straight up told me the 2 hour drive would probably kill her. To this day I still have no clue how she survived! That plant wound up in the trash because it was so chewed up and while throwing it away just me touching the broken leaves I personally broke out into blistering wounds all over my hands and arms for over 2 months. Its It's insane! I got the plant because it was pretty. I honestly had no clue when I got it what harm it could cause. (To be fair especially with pets keep plants up and outta the way! I keep mine up high and gated off yet she found her way in when unsupervised)
Great timing, I just adopted a cat last weekend! Time to rearrange some plants so he can’t get to them, just in case. I’m sure most people know this already but lily flowers are very deadly to cats and can cause kidney failure, especially the pollen. So watch out for those as well!
Thank you so much for sharing! Keeping the plants out of reach and having a plant free space is definitely my go to. I also will put a safe plant in front of them from time to time and train them to not touch them. It might not be for everyone but knowing my dogs are trained not to be interested in them is just extra insurance in case a door is left open when I’m not home
You'd be surprised how many people don't realize that sago palms are extremely toxic! I petsit/housesit and recently I stayed in a neighborhood where every other house had a sago palm. I had to let the owners know so they knew to be careful around those houses.
I'm late to the video but thank you for mentioning essential oils!!! people seem to have no idea their diffusers have been the reason for their pets unexplained illnesses, such as neurological problems, seizures, and muscular/heart problems!
Something I've found is that certain varieties of plants can cause more severe reactions. I keep a lot of syngoniums and the syngonium ive had in my house never caused any reactions if my cats got into them but my albo gave my cat a reaction that you could tell irritated his mouth because he was drooling after just biting the leaf (he didn't ingest any) so I've been very careful to keep my cats out of my syngonium since
I am lucky that my cat doesn't show interest in most of my plants, she has a weakness for grass looking thin leaves. So i don't buy any plants with thin leaves and to be extra sure i always have kitty grass in the house. I buy the seeds , they grow in about 1 to 2 weeks and last about a month. This way she can nibble on her plant and leave the others in peace.
Loved this video! It's super helpful Thankfully my dog never tried to eat any of my plants, but the toxic ones still are out of his reach just in case ❤️
Hey girl I’ve been following you for a very long time and watch your videos to show up & support ❤️ I’m not one to usually comment on videos but certainly feel inspired to show up in small ways after hearing you discuss the stress of the algorithm and analytics from time to time. Keep doing what you’re doing & don’t stress about the stats.. some videos start to pick up speed after some time. I love your little family and look forward to your content 💚 hope this helps to keep your inspiration going ✨
@@HarliG of course girl! Happy to support- you’ve been so influential to me and I love that you’re so openly honest 💖. It’s refreshing especially since I had my daughter around the same time you had Kai… I definitely know the feeling. The struggle is real when it comes to making great content & you certainly shine through 🌟
They shouldn't have a sago palm inside or even in their yards. It's a popular landscaping plant in Houston and many people have had their dogs die from eating some of the plant. I believe the pods or pups are especially deadly.
Aloha, ty for this video.Did I miss something or did you not show a photo of some of the plants you spoke about? Being dyslexic causes me to be very visual so that my brain can grasp things easier.BTW, your skin is beautiful. You should do a skin care video 🦮🦜🐈.
Had no idea about sago palms! I love sago palms and was thinking about landscaping with them. I’ll be finding a friendlier alternative. Thank you for this great info
I never have any Dieffenbachia because I was poisoned by it as a young child. Even handling the leaves can be toxic. The symptoms in a child, tongue swelling and airways closing, plus burned vocal cords. I always give those particular plants the side eye. Great video!
My dog dug into my birds of paradise... he didn't eat the leaves but ate the dirt and some of the roots. He had a but diarrhea but thankfully was fine.
Was looking after relatives dogs, came down in the night to a bang and one dog was on the floor having a seizure. We have a snake plant. Had no idea it was toxic, we think she ate the soil/roots because the plant was intact
This is so amazing! Knowing all these tips are so so helpful!! You’re so awesome and amazing. Everyone is right you know, you do glow! Beautiful as always.
I diffuse eucalyptus every once in a while and I had no idea! It’s being retired now😂 thank you so much for sharing! Also I am the same way about wherever I am, the pups are right there with me. It makes all of us feel better in my house🥰
Great video Harli! Seems like the big box stores are the place to stay away from when buying plants! They carry slews of all the plants you just listed. Excellent video thank you!
My dog has never been interested in my plants but the combination of living close to the polar circle (not very friendly to tropical plants) and having anxiety about my dog one day deciding he's bored and trying to taste the plants, I'm getting an ikea greenhouse. That way I can lock them up but still enjoy and have them.
I guess I’m moving my flowing domino peace lily ASAP! I didn’t know the pollen was also toxic. Fortunately my cat loves being in and around plants but never bits them.
Peace lily are not true lilies and have a much more mild toxic effect than actual lilies. They’re not considered pet-safe, but they’re not acutely toxic. I keep mine up high stIll, but I keep any real lilies (mostly in bouquets) WAY up high and safe.
I have cats, dogs and a bunny who we found abandoned outside. I was good about keeping toxic plants away from our dogs and cats before but I was completely caught off guard when my bunny jumped on a stool and then onto a counter to eat my Peace Lily. When I caught him I went into panick mode calling vets, poison control etc. He ended up being fine but it taught me a lot. And he has no access to any houseplants now. 🐇
Hahaha too funny “I don’t lock my toddler in a room and leave” I don’t have any pets yet, but I watch my toddler like a hawk when he is around my plants. I have a fence around all of them, but he can still reach over the fence and touch some of them. I basically just consider all of them as toxic and make sure he doesn’t get into any of them.
Thanks for your help 👍 you are a plant person and I have a little story about how I had plants 🪴 and 1 of my kitty would always eating my plants and yes he had tummy problems 😢 and I learned that there's help for people who have plants 🪴 and he lived to be 16 years old ❤
Very,super helpful video! Thanks so much. I had a greyhound years ago that ate my violets while I was at work. I had no idea they were harmful or tha she would be interested in eating them because she never went near them when I was home. She was so sick when I got home.
Thank you so much for sharing very good information 😁 I to have little dogs so I have doggie gates to keep them out of the living room when we are not in there and it works out great. But I will be more mindful of the plants I bring in even more now so thank🥳
So glad you did a video on this !!!! I’ve had to put all my plants up. My cat chews on everything. Doesn’t matter if it’s made her tummy hurt at the first nibble. 🤦🏻♀️ lol. I’m such a anxious cat mom. Great to learn a little about toxicity. Any tips on monstera plants ? Mine is pretty close to the floor because it’s too heavy for a shelf. She try’s chewing the tip of the leaves off …. Lol.
thanks for the nice video and info, I rather choose non-toxic even though those mention are lucky plants, hmmm I must think twice rather than risking the health of my pet. there are also lucky plants but safe to human and pets...❤❤❤ I have ZZ plant but just threw it away.
Not everyone is born with beautiful teeth. For instance a lot of babies born in 1960 were given vitamins that ruined the enamel on their permanent teeth which caused the teeth to look yellow. I was very self conscience about my teeth and never smiled in school pictures and children can be cruel sometimes not knowing better. I agree Harli’s teeth and her whole being is very pretty. But it’s sad to judge people when you may not know the whole story.
My cat was chewing on my dracaena tree and think God she didn't get to much. I mixed up a bunch of spices into a spray bottle of water and she hasn't touched it since. Not saying it will work for other people but she didn't want anything to do with it after. Some of the spices I used was cumin. cinnamon, etc a lot of the really spicy stuff and it smelled like rotten eggs. So if you use this concoction it will smell for a day or two.
I didn’t know about the essential oils!!! I have two dogs and one of them I believe now had gotten an allergic reaction to the peppermint oil that we use on our wool balls when drying our clothes 😭
I have 2 dogs and 3 cats and for the most part they leave my plants alone.. I have to hide my Ponytail Palms and Spider plants from my cats though. My dogs totally ignore my plants but on one random occasion, my pit bull just took a chomp out of my Diffenbachia. I have no idea why, after 5 years of never messing with them, she decided to do that. (Shen does catch flies, so I am wondering if there was fly on the leaf) 🤦🏽♀️ Fortunately, she had no reaction and has never done it again. I'm sure it tasted bad.
I have a dog that I nicknamed Fat Plant Eating B@*ch. Can you guess why??? If guessed cause eats plants then you're right!! She likes to take them out of the pots and shake them like a ragdoll.
Also ive hear shamrock can be bad for pets.. also i have a silver squill which is related to the hyacinth family.. which ive read is very toxic to cats… its on my tip top shelf..
I have a question. Are plants toxic to dogs if they are not ingested? Like just having them in your house do they give off anything that a pet could have allergic reaction to on his skin excetera? Second question. Can dogs have an allergic reaction to leaves that have fallen off from drying up Etc and fall on the ground and the dog eat it? My plants are always up high but leaves do fall and I miss it and he can sometimes eat off the floor
I know spider plants are non toxic, they are basically grass that puts baby arms our. I have two 5 month kittens who have chewed a few of my spider plants and are fine, I also checked the info on a plant site I purchase from who confirmed non toxic 😂
