Below is a comprehensive list of plants that are categorized by mild, non and very toxic plants especially to our pets and in most cases to people.
It should be noted that raisons and chocolate are VERY toxic to pets. Even though you might have gotten away with a small amount it is not wise to give them these in any form. They shut down their kidney's and you should take your pet immediately to the vet to have them induce vomiting, they will also have you give them a charcoal slurry in an oral syringe . It is good to keep charcoal capsules around for humans and pets to give to absorb toxic material. Give your pet parsley, which is loaded with chlorophyl as well.
DO NOT give your pets kelp, as it has iodine in it and may effect their thyroid too much. Only administer this if on the advice of your Vet. When my dog feels bad she will eat the parsley, as they do when they eat grass. Eating grass is dangerous if it has been sprayed with chemicals. Fluoride in water is bad for their kidneys as well as yours and your should filter which will also remove the chlorine as well. Both of these are bad for our bodies and our pets. We offer a great shower filter for those whom are interested. You absorb an enormous amount through your largest organ, you skin.
Always keep Poison control and Hennepin Regional Poison Center
numbers handy in case of emergency!
 Mr. Yuk says keep your local poison control number handy as well as the
listed national phone number 1-800-222-1222.
Always have your emergency room selected and previewed so if in case of
any emergency you know where to go and what their capacity is to help you in
case of an emergency. Not all emergency rooms are equal.
Some are equiped to handle only certain types of health emergencies.
Also know where your doctor of choice may have clinical privileges.

Angel's Trumpet Tree Arborvitae
ANGEL’S TRUMPETS, DEVIL'S BREATH, AND THE ZOMBIE’S CUCUMBER
The genii Brugmansia and Datura are very closely related and remarkably similar; they are both shrubs or bushes with elegant, trumpet-like flowers common all around South America. Oh, and they also might erase your memories and destroy your free will, reducing you to a helpless flesh-slave in thrall to a voodoo priest or a ruthless drug lord. These flowering plants contain large amounts of the alkaloid scopolamine, known to some as “truth serum” by Tom Currie

THE MANCHINEEL TREE: “THE LITTLE APPLES OF DEATH”
“Manchineel” is an Anglicization of the Spanish “manzanilla” or “little apple,” based on the resemblance between Manchineel fruits and unripe apples. The apple connection ends there, however, as no matter how sour or tart a particular apple species might be, they won’t cause you to suffer severe gastroenteritis, intestinal bleeding, or respiratory edema—not even a Granny Smith will hurt you that bad. Hippomane mancinella is one of the most
poisonous trees in the world, to the point that if you stand underneath a Manchineel tree during a rainstorm you’re likely to develop severe skin blisters just from the diluted sap running off the branches. Native Caribbeans tipped their arrows and spears with Manchineel sap to ensure painful death from even slight wounds, and their preferred method of execution was to tie victims to the trunk of the tree, ensuring a slow and horrifically painful death over a period of days. So yeah, don’t mistake these for apple trees, ever.

Mushrooms
toxic ‘shrooms from tasty ones, i.e. “brightly colored” mushrooms are supposedly a warning sign but Amanita “destroying angel” mushrooms are all a bland shade of white, and while many believe that any mushroom an animal is observed eating must be safe, many woodland creatures have developed immunities to fungal toxins that are dangerous to humans. Even experienced mushroom pickers can get tripped up from time to time, so maybe when you want to add a truly unique home-made flavor to your salads, just make your own croutons instead of adding an ingredient that will at worst kill you and at least make you spend the next few hours on the toilet by Tom Currie

9 of 10 CASTOR BEAN PLANTS: THE KGB’S VEGETABLE GARDEN
Castor bean plants are handsome and popular flowering plants that can be found in many modern gardens and incidentally contain one of the deadliest weaponized poisons known to man. The castor “bean” (actually a seed—the first layer of deadly deceit and intrigue that characterizes this lethal plant) contains a useful concentration of ricin, an extremely toxic but subtle poison that inhibits protein synthesis, allowing its victims to continue functioning normally for hours or even days before the first symptoms make their appearance

CERBERA ODOLLAM: THE SUICIDE TREE
Most of the plants on this list have a common name that only just hints at how it might be dangerous, but the popular nickname of Cerbera odollam—the “Suicide Tree”—is refreshingly honest about how it only exists to kill you. Native to Southern Asia in general and the Kerala province of India in particular, Cerbera odollam contains a powerful cardiac toxin

GYMPIE GYMPIE: THE TREE OF PAIN
Informed visitors to Australia are well aware that every animal on the continent is ready, willing and able to kill you. From the tiny Irukandji jellyfish to the famously muscular kangaroo, all the way up to actual Australian people who are all descendants from convicts, you have to be careful. With all the animal life on Australia being terrifyingly deadly, it’s easy to forget that Australia is home to the most virulent and painful species of stinging tree. Dendrocnide moroides (AKA “gympie gympie” or “moonlighter”) is covered with tiny silica stingers that are almost impossible to remove from the flesh, all of which contain a powerful neurotoxin easily capable of killing dogs and horses and causing excruciating pain to humans. There’s at least one story (backed up by scientific and medical reports) that tells of an unlucky Australian soldier who used a gympie-gympie leaf as toilet paper and then, unable to tolerate the pain, blew out his brains with his service revolver. So yeah, when you’re in Australia, watch your fanny, figuratively and literally

White Snake Root (Eupatorium rugosa) ( I did not know this!!)killed more than half of the citizens of Dubois County, Indiana, where Abraham Lincoln spent his boyhood years. Snakeroot entered humans in a particularly sneaky way—cows grazing on the plant suffered few noticeable effects, but humans who drank those cows’ milk (including Abe’s mother, Nancy Hanks Lincoln) soon suffered muscle pain, gastrointestinal distress, and
eventually a fatal coma by Tom Currie
