Philodendrons
Philodendrons are beautiful heart-like leaves and long vines, which are well-known indoor plants. But be careful, as these plants consist of insoluble calcium oxalate crystals, which might cause discomfort in your dog’s lips and mouth.
According to vets, if your pup has gobbled some leaves, he might start pawing at his mouth and might also drool and retch.
Rhododendrons
You must’ve seen these shrubs in many yards. Every part of this plant has grayanotoxin, and then the outcome depends on the quantity of consumption.
The most well-known symptoms include an upset stomach. It is not common for dogs to eat many leaves, but after having a lot of them, they might experience weakness, tremors, and low blood pressure, along with irregular rhythm and heart rate.
Dieffenbachia
The indoor plants with lush green leaves along with white stripes or spots, and if you find your dog licking it or eating it, please take that plant away from your pup because it will be very toxic for your doggo. Dieffenbachia consists of calcium oxalate crystals, which will further cause a burning sensation in the tongue, mouths, and lips. Your puppy might even vomit, drool and struggle while breathing.
Cyclamen
With every shade of pink, this flower has intensely colored blooms that last for years and are a well-known indoor plant, especially in winters. By chance, if your dogs nibble any part of this plant, there is a high probability that he might throw up, have diarrhea and drool. Digiting and eating the roots might affect their rhythm and heart rate and be fatal.
Autumn Crocus
They bloom in autumn; their sensitive flowers grow out of the ground, with no leaves. The bulbs and leaves grow in spring after the flower dies.
If your dog nibbles any part of this plant (bulbs, flowers, or leaves), it will start throwing up or experience diarrhea. The poison in this plant, known as colchicine, might have long-term effects as well—colchicine results in liver failure and suppressed bone marrow.
