I received a very big,beautiful dieffenbachia plant today. I happened to look it up and found out a little about them. Should I get rid of it and really be concerned with my dogs?
Dieffenbachia plants and dogs?
Dieffenbachia is EXTREMELY toxic to animals and humans. If you have dogs, cats, or kids, get rid of the plant.
The sap has a type of alkaloid which causes blistering of the mucous membranes and other toxic reactions.
Reply:Agree with Spam. No worries if your dogs don't chew plants. If you see they are interested in it, "No" "Leave it." training solves that problem. None of my dogs ever showed any interest in dumb cane I've had.
Reply:Place it somewhere the dogs will not be able to get at it and be sure not to allow leaves to fall off. It is poisonous, but there is no reason not to keep it if you use some planning.
Reply:Do your dogs bother your other household plants?
I doubt you have anything to worry about
