I have NEVER heard or read about a dog being poisoned by a plant in their yard, but hey, shit happens. One could consider doing some research on Google and also with their own veterinarian until they find this specialist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 Generally, the dogs know, and I have never worried about that. Never lost a dog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret Posted February 23, 2020 Report Share Posted February 23, 2020 There are plants that will cause intestinal distress or poisoning in dogs and the calla lily is one of them. I no longer have any in my garden. Dogs are usually looking for something to help an upset tummy (like plain old grass) and pick on the wrong plant. They don't know the difference so it's up to you because I highly doubt that any landscaper will know. Here's one link (that leads to another link with more)... https://dogs.lovetoknow.com/wiki/List_of_Plants_Poisonous_to_Dogs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybertramp Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Toxic Plants for Dogs per Mr. Google Amaryllis. Popular during the spring holidays, this plant can cause vomiting, depression, diarrhea, excessive drooling, and tremors. Azalea. ... Bird of Paradise. ... Daffodil. ... Eucalyptus. ... Hyacinth. ... Hydrangea. ... Iris. Plus many more Sharon experienced language barriers with 3 landscapers thus the request for a local lakeside person with the desired information. Google translate was no help. I did advise her to expect unhelpful, supercilious comments from some. Thanks for the link Ferret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Pattee Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 We have used Arturo to completely redo our back garden, removal of old plants and shrubs and planting new trees, shrubs and flowers. We are very happy with the results. He and Leticia own the nursery next door to La Paceña restaurant in San Antonio. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgiaPeach Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Give Roberto Delgado of Chapala tree service a call - speaks English - His partner Luis does landscaping. Speaks English also. 331-411-0242 or 762-0602 They are well known and very professional and in business for many years here. Not the cheapest but worth it. There are plenty of grass cutters here and not many true landscapers. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we moved to this house we had them do a major clean-out as the grounds were somewhat neglected by an absentee landlord for 10+ years. We have had them add new trees/plants/bedding areas as well. They treat our tall palms every 3 months against the beetle that has decimated palms in this area. We also have our half-dozen Italian cedars (those really tall ones) treated annually as they are prone to disease as well. When their crew is here for the above services we have them trim other tall trees and landscaping plants that are too tall for our gardener to reach from his ladder. His crew works fast and they wear safety equipment. They haul everything away and rake the areas they worked, leaving everything tidy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudgirl Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I've always had dogs and always had gardens, with all those plants on your list, either here or in Canada. I've seen my dog eat grass, but she's actually quite particular about which type of grass she eats, and I've never had any of my dogs eat plants. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
