There are many plants which could be quite dangerous to your Shih
Tzu's health if consumed. Consumption of dangerous plants could lead
to gastrointestinal problems and poisoning.
Care should be taken, especially during the Spring and Summer months
as plants can often sprout and bloom on their own. Care should also be
taken when walking your Shih Tzu.
It is also important to remember that even plants which are not of a
toxic nature could harm your Shih Tzu as they are often sprayed with
insecticides and other potentially harmful chemicals. In addition,
hazardous plants could lead to contact allergies in your Shih Tzu.
Allergy symptoms vary but can include constant scratching, diarrhoea,
vomiting, swelling, rashes on the skin, and weight loss.
Furthermore, common household items could also be potentially
dangerous including cleaning agents such as detergents and bleaches,
car products such as batteries and oils, gardening treatments like
fertilisers and insecticides, mothballs and even some flea treatments
which are not designed to be ingested. Make sure that potentially
dangerous items are kept out of your Shih Tzu's reach.
