They are deadly for pets as well as humans

Are Oleander plants really dangerous to have in a garden with pets?
Depends upon the pet. We have cats and they never chew on the leaves, but I'd be very wary of having oleanders around any animal that eats primarily plant matter, for example, horses, goats, llamas, etc.
Reply:WARNING


Oleander is extremely poisonous. Eating even small amounts of any part of the plant can kill. Children have been poisoned by using the twigs as whistles. Contact with skin may cause irritation. Smoke from burning cuttings can cause severe reactions.
Reply:Yes. Depends on the pet a bit. If it is a habitual plant eater it may get very sick or even die.
Reply:When we came to Spain two cats adopted us. We had no Oleander then. Now (4 years later) we have hundereds of Oleander plants. The cats are still here and very healthy.
