THIS from an email:


Greetings form the Burnt Hills Veterinary Hospital.

Our goal is to make our clients the most educated pet owners in the community.

Recently the home improvement stores have stocked their shelves with a plant called the "Sago Palm". This is a decorative houseplant that you may be tempted to purchase.

If your pets ingest ANY part of this plant it will cause liver failure.
Even with agressive veterinary treatment 70% of these pets will die. We implore you to keep your household free of this plant. We are devastated when we are unable to help your pets.


We hope this will help keep your pets safe. Feel free to give us any feedback on this information and any other topics you would like to be educated about.

This plant has a neurotoxin that's just as poisonous to people as animals.
