With spring upon us and the weather getting better more and more people are heading off on long walks with their pets. However, dog owners are being warned to stay on the lookout for a very common plant to which their pets could be allergic.
Rapeseed, which is flowering in fields all over the country at the moment, contains pollen that can be dangerous to dogs who have sensitivity to it. It is listed by leading animal welfare charity Dogs Trust as potentially toxic if ingested.
Some of the symptoms that can be caused include digestive disorders and breathing problems, reports Norfolk Live. Dogs can even suffer after effects just from running through the stuff.
