WHY TOXIC?
- Most fertilizers contain varying amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassiumas indicated by the three numbers on the packaging (i.e., 30-10-10). They may also contain iron, copper, zinc, cobalt, boron, manganese and molybdenum, some of which may be toxic in large concentrations.

WHY TOXIC?
- Fertilizers may also contain herbicides, pesticides, and fungicides which increases the risk of poisoning. While small ingestions of fertilizer may only result in mild stomach upset, larger ingestions can result in severe poisoning from the iron, nitrogen and other chemicals.

BLOOD MEAL
- This is dried, ground, and flash-frozen blood and contains 12% nitrogen. While it’s a great organic fertilizer, if ingested, it can cause vomiting and diarrhea. More importantly, it can result in severe pancreatitis. Some types of blood meal are also fortified with iron, resulting in iron toxicity.

BONE MEAL
- This is made up of defatted, dried, and flash-frozen animal bones that are ground to a powder. This “bone” is also what makes it so palatable to your dog, so make sure to keep your pet from digging in it and ingesting the soil. While this also makes a great organic fertilizer, it can become a problem when consumed as the bone meal forms a large cement-like bone ball in the stomach resulting in possible surgery to remove it!

IRON
- This is commonly added to fertilizers, and can result in iron toxicity. This is different from “total” iron ingestion, and can be confusing to differentiate. Large ingestions can result in vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and potential cardiac and liver effects.
