Are spring bulbs poisonous to pets? Experts discuss the dangers of these beautiful blooms

Dog sitting amongst daffodils.

Q: I planted lots of spring bulbs in borders and pots last fall, including daffodils and tulips. I am looking forward to them blooming, but recently heard that they are poisonous for pets. I have a dog, so I’m a bit concerned – what precautions do I need to take?

A: With their glorious colors and promise of warmer days ahead, it’s no surprise that spring bulbs are loved by many – myself included. However, as pretty as they may be, bulbs are poisonous plants for dogs and cats. This means measures must be taken to keep pets safe, whether you’ve planted your bulbs in your backyard or are forcing them indoors for an early display.
