Sago Palms are especially toxic to all mammals, but dogs are more prone to seek them out. Be very cautious around all parts of the plant, including the seeds which are most toxic.
Cats are especially sensitive to anything in the lily or Liliaceae family. If ingested these plants will break down and cause renal failure.
