Poinsettias & Other Holiday Plants That Are Toxic To Your Pets (And 3 That Aren’t)

Cyclamen

Another plant that’s popular this time of year for its pop of color is the cyclamen. These pretty plants, laden with red, pink, or white blooms, show up in stores during the colder months of the year.

These plants don’t make a good addition to households with pets, as they can be quite toxic to both cats and dogs. The plants (like many other plants) contain terpenoid saponins which agitate a pet’s stomach and cause vomiting, diarrhea, and drooling. If a pet eats large quantities of the plant, serious complications could occur, including death.

As pretty as they are, if you have a curious pet, you should probably skip these plants.
