Poisonous2Pets is a full colour book which allows rapid access to visual and written information about plants which are poisonous to cats and dogs. It enables owners to identify the dangerous plant and know what to do if their pet is poisoned. The book outlines potential toxicity to pets by categorizing the plants into four levels with each toxic level identified by colours found on the edge of each page. However, prevention is better than cure and the information in this book also helps pet owners and garden designers “poison proof” the home and garden.
The book covers information and photographs in an easy to look up and well designed format. The information on each plant is divided into specific sub-headings;
• the botanical name
• the common names
• the signs of toxicity in the animal
• the first point of call for treatment
• the scientific plant family
• brief description of the plant
• geographic location (international)
• plant habitat (i.e. commonly seen in)
• toxic parts
• how poisoning occurs
• toxic principles
For the 53% of the Australian population which own a cat or dog, this book enables them to quickly identify the plant involved and act immediately. In some cases, the difference between immediate and appropriate action may be the difference between life and death.
