"I'm just asking for a little bit of writing on a label upon purchase to save our little fur babies," said Roberts.

Cooper underwent emergency treatment at Vets4Pets in Sutton Coldfield to resolve the blockage from undigested food accumulation.

"Lilies, daffodils, tulips, there's a variety of them," said Gabriel Wax, practice owner and vet at Vets4Pets.

"It's very difficult to have a complete list of all of them because there is far too many."

Wax urged the public to exercise greater caution regarding the types of plants kept inside households and outdoor gardens.

"I think we should be a bit more aware of what we have in the garden and what we have in the kitchen for our pets," said Wax.

The Dogs Trust stated that while plant-poisoning cases remain relatively rare without recent increases, the charity frequently publishes safety guidance regarding common flora like mistletoe, lavender, and geraniums.

"Do your research [and] keep an eye on your dog in the garden," said Tristan Smith, vet nurse manager for Dogs Trust.

"If there are any concerns and you think your dog's eaten anything, call the vet and they will be able to advise you further."

Gurdip Singh, chief executive of Birmingham-based labeling software firm Kallik, backed the mandatory labeling initiative, citing human allergen labeling laws as a viable precedent.

"A lot of people probably don't realise the label is what really keeps you safe," said Singh.
