My dog ate daisy petals. Are they toxic? Should I call the vet?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Diarrhea can be observed with conditions such as colitis, gastroenteritis, dietary indiscretion, intestinal parasites, among many other possibilities. In this case, dietary indiscretion is possible given that petals were ingested. Assuming the petals were not from a toxic flower, you could try a bland diet composed mainly of boiled chicken and white rice which is easily digestible and can help with an upset stomach. If no improvement is noted, I recommend that you have Moose evaluated by your veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. They may choose to check for parasites and to start medications for diarrhea depending on the results. If there is concern that these petals were from a toxic flower/plant, he should be evaluated right away. Good luck! Hoping for a speedy recovery!

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Peony can produce gastrointestinal symptoms, like vomiting, diarrhea, lack of appetite, drooling when ingested in large amounts. If Echo ate only one petal, most likely she will be fine. Please, monitor her at home for the next 6-12hrs. If you notice any worrying symptoms, get in touch with your local vets.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! The toxic components in tulips is concentrated in the bulb but is also present (in less concentrated amounts) in the other parts of the plant as well. I think Rocky will be fine but symptoms you would see would be associated with irritation of the mouth and esophagus: drooling and maybe vomiting. If you didn't do so already, flush out his mouth really well. If vomiting occurs I would have him seen by a vet. I hope this helps and I wish Rocky the best!

Hello, and thanks for your question. Dandelions are pretty safe, but there are some flowers that are toxic to varying degrees. Pet Poison Helpline is a good resource with lots of information on a variety of potential toxins; here's a list of some common house and garden plants that can be toxic: https://www.petpoisonhelpline.com/pet-owners/basics/top-10-plants-poisonous-to-pets/ Bee stings can certainly happen, and if Dixie should encounter a bee sting, you could help prevent an allergic reaction by giving benadryl, but I'd double check with your vet before giving any medication. Here's a link to some more information on benadryl in dogs: https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/ As far as keeping Dixie from eating flowers - the best way is to simply remove any potential flowers from the spaces where she's allowed to be, and put up a barrier to keep her away from any flowers you don't want her eating! It's nearly impossible to teach our pets not to eat things they can get ahold of - it's much more effective to simply control what they have access to. Hope this helps!

Oh no, that's not good that Layla ate a petal from a lily! As I'm sure you know, the lily is toxic to dogs and causes GI upset, anorexia, and tremors. Typically a dog has to eat large amounts of it to cause these symptoms, so one petal may not be enough to cause any problems. I would watch Layla for now, and if you do see any GI upset in the form of vomiting or diarrhea, I can give you a home remedy to try. Withhold food for 12-24 hours, then feed a bland diet of boiled white meat chicken (no bones) and white rice in small amounts several times a day for a couple of days. Then slowly add back in her normal diet. If the vomiting continues in the absence of food, she vomits the bland diet, the diarrhea continues on the bland diet, she stops drinking water, starts vomiting water, or becomes very lethargic, she will need to see a vet right away. Good luck, and I hope this helps!

Hello and thank you for reaching out to Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Yes, Stormy should be just fine! There is nothing toxic in pollen to dogs. Also, lilies themselves are only toxic to cats when they are ingested. I hope this is helpful!

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. Eating a mouse is a fairly natural thing for a dog to do. Most likely Daisy will be just fine. You will want to monitor for any signs of illness, such as lethargy, inappetence, vomiting, or diarrhea, and seek veterinary care if these develop. I hope you don't have any problems while Daisy is in your care.
