 Poinsettia - poison?
Haven't we all read that poinsettias are poison if eaten.
Well - my little puppy tore a large chunk off of one of my poinsettias and had a mouthful of leaves and was eating them. Plus he had them half eaten scattered all over the front room.
He seemed perfectly fine. But - I got on the Internet to learn more about these plants.
What I learned was that eating poinsettia leaves may make your dog sick and cause some indigestion. They are not poison in the sense that he is going to drop over dead.
Fortunately, my pup had no symptoms at all. And I know for a fact that he ate and swallowed some of the leaves.
Still - it is one plant that we should keep away from our little dogs. We don't want them to get sick.
