Veterinarians warn dog owners of toxic palm tree

A 7-month-old Boston terrier became sick after eating parts of a sago palm tree at her home in Jacksonville.

Veterinarians said dogs are attracted to the taste, but the entire tree down to the seed is toxic to dogs.

Veterinarians also said about 30 percent of dogs who swallow any part of the sago palm, die.

They said the best thing to do is get rid of the plant.
