Dog chewing on plants?

Question

My 1 1/2 year old poodle is enjoying chewing on our camillas. Can this be harmful to her? Are there other plants that may be harmful to her?

Thanks - all the answers thus far have been helpful. Nothing seems to specifically say camillas are harmful, though.

Answer 2

puppies chew, thats what they do. my 1 year old labradoodle chews on plants and other things all the time, we catch him eating whole socks. be very carful to things that may be harmful and can damage the inside of their stomach or other digestive track. i suggest you to keep things out of reach, and if the camilla plant is in the ground then you back the dog from the plant at any means.

Answer 3

Well, I would look at the behavior as information. She is either not getting something nutritionally, or she is bored out of her gord.

Wheat grass is an excellent chewing grass, why don't you get a little pot of it for her?

Also, see about some of these great new chew toys that have treats hidden in the middle. It really keeps the dog busy, and entertained. Poodles are pretty smart, and they need something to do. We like the "Everlasting toy" which is a rubber ball/disc with a replaceable hard treat for the middle.

Answer 4

I just went through four pages of plant listings that I use as a handout in my obedience classes and camillas are not among them. The odds are that although they may cause stomach discomfort or diarrhea they are to dangerously toxic. You can double check a very full list at the Purina website under 'Health'
Hope this helps you.

Answer 5

Dogs and puppies should never chew on any flower or plants. Ponzettas are poisonous to dogs. dog food should be the only thing they eat and maybe just a tiny tiny bite of peanut butter bc it is protein!

Answer 6

A dog should be trained on how to eat, walk with you, not to bark, potty training and sleep on its place etc. You can teach anything to your puppy, dogs get trained easily with some good instructions. If you want some good training tips visit https://tr.im/OlhCJ

If properly trained, they should also understand whistle and gesture equivalents for all the relevant commands, e.g. short whistle or finger raised sit, long whistle or flat hand lay down, and so on.

It's important that they also get gestures and whistles as voice may not be sufficient over long distances and under certain circumstances.

Answer 7

Not that I know of, but you can put a little hot sauce on the plant that she is chewing for when she chews on it again. It can break her from the habit of chewing on plants.

Answer 8

I hear poinsettias are also harmful. Over Christmas break last year my sister brought her dog to my aunt's house and the dog ate the leaves off a poinsettia and then kept throwing up all over the carpet.

Answer 9

There are special products to spritz on things that dogs chew on.

You can make your own by mixing chili powder with a bit of vinegar and water. Spray it on, and your dog Should dislike the taste.
