An apple a day keeps the doctor away -- unless you're a dog or cat, in which case a crunchy Golden Delicious can prove poisonous! Lots of "people food" and pretty plants can have harmful, even fatal effects on our furry friends. Keep them safe with this checklist of natural toxins; you might be surprised at what you find.

And if your pet does get into something potentially poisonous - natural or otherwise - the ASPCA runs an animal poison control center that can be reached 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. If you think that your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance, call toll-free (888) 426-4435. A $65 consultation fee may be applied to your credit card, but it is well worth it in the event of an emergency.
