Poisonous Plants to Dogs
Rhododendron	It only takes ingesting 1 or 2 leaves of a Rhododendron to cause poisoning to a dog. Poison symptoms include vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, and even neurological signs like seizure or tremors. A large consumption could even kill your Miniature Schnauzer!
Azalea	There are over a thousand species of Rhododendron including the popular Azalea (which has hundreds of varieties of its own). Again, ingesting only a small amount can cause a poisoning in a dog.
Spring Bulbs	Does your Miniature Schnauzer like to dig? If so, be careful where you plant those spring bulbs. The onion like skins of the bulbs can be very toxic and even fatal to your Miniature Schnauzer. Popular yet very toxic plant bulbs include the daffodil, tulip, and narcissus.
Oleander	Oleander is a beautiful evergreen shrub. It is often used as an ornamental plant in landscapes, parks, and along roadside. It is however, one of the most poisonous plants in the world and is extremely fatal if ingested by your Miniature Schnauzers.
Kalanchoe	Grocery store floral sections often sell potted flowering plants that could be very toxic to your Schnauzer as well, including the Kalanchoe. This plant has thick, waxy, dark green leaves with scalloped edges and small clusters of petaled flowers. Kalanchoes come in a variety of colors including white, red, magenta, pink, orange or yellow.
Sago Palm	Ingesting parts of the Sago Palm (especially the fruits and seeds) can cause lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea and ultimately lead to liver failure in your Miniature Schnauzer.

If you have any of these toxic plants in your home or garden be sure to remove them or have placed out of your Schnauzer's reach. This is especially important if you have a puppy in your home since puppies are more prone to chewing on items while teething and exploring their environment.
