Plants Toxic to Dogs
I put three Callistemon Viminallis (can't remember the common name!) in my
back garden this weekend. One of our dog walking group asked if I had checked whether it was toxic to dog. I have to admit that I didn't even consider the possibility. Does anyone know whether this plant is toxic? Or better yet, if there is a list on the net that lists plants toxic to animals. -- Wanda aka Willow The missing and definitely not to be taken seriously under any circumstances garden gnome http://www.2000cn.com.au/~willow ~~faeries are able to fly because they take themselves lightly~ |

I'm in Perth. In Melbourne I've not known of plants toxic to dogs although I've heard it's OK to add scraps to their feed but not to add onions to their diet because they react. Yes, I've heard of that too... I was thinking more of the types of plants you put in the garden that might have leaves which are toxic to dogs if they happened to munch on one. Best way is to phone your usual Vet. or ask in aus.pets Yeah, I'll do that next time. Thanks! |

Plants Toxic to Dogs
G'day,
I've never heard of any problems with bottlebrush, and with so many council and private plantings, I'd be shocked if there were. A vet on the radio said that dogs can react to a wandering jew allergy, causes skin problems. Maybe there is a local dog\pet newsgroup where you could ask. The plant you mention is the weeping bottlebrush, hardy, tough and reasonably drought resistant. I've heard though, that to many bottlebrush and grevillias can destabilize bird populations as many of the birds that love them can get very territorial, evicting a lot of the smaller species.
