Many common tropical houseplants use this defense mechanism, including philodendron, pothos ivy, anthuriums, caladiums and Dieffenbachia, which is also known as "dumbcane" or "mother-in-law plant" because eating it can cause temporary speechlessness. If any toxic plants in your house, yard, garden or anywhere your dog goes, elevate them, fence them off or otherwise put them beyond his reach. Dog Health. By Martha Adams. Toxicity The plant is not poisonous in the scientific or legal sense, but all parts of it -- leaves, flowers, stems and roots -- contain crystals of a chemical compound called calcium oxalate.
Effects Calcium oxalate is not a toxin, but rather a mechanical irritant. This means your pet could suffer from oral problems, increased salivation or drooling, vomiting, and difficulty with swallowing.
Also known as Satin or Silk Pothos, the plant is toxic to both dogs and cats as it can irritate the mouth and tongue. In addition, your pet may also suffer from vomiting, increased salivation and swallowing difficulties.
The plant is related to Philodendron and can cause similar symptoms. All parts of this exotic-looking plant can cause problems for your pet dog. Connect with Facebook.
