Dog owners are being warned about allowing their dogs to go near the rapeseed plants. The bright yellow plant is a common sight to see across fields during the British Spring and Summer seasons.
However, as beautiful as they look, the plant could cause some serious harm to your pet. On a nine-page list of poisonous plants on the Dogs Trust website, rapeseed appears to be mentioned.
Although, as it isn't mentioned as a springtime danger on various other canine organisations, DevonLive spoke to Dogs Trust for confirmation. A Dogs Trust spokesperson confirmed that although many dogs may remain asymptomatic after coming into contact with rapeseed, it can be toxic if ingested.
