For a Pleasant Change--Non-Toxic Plants

[F, Calla & Luca]

I got this list through Trader Joe's site. I can't guarantee it but I hope it's all correct.
Non toxic plants. They also have a toxic plant list.

The ASPCA also has an extensive list of non-toxic plants:

I started looking at the ASPCA list and stopped at about page 10. I would have to tear out half of the plants in my yard if I were going to worry about everything they list. Not that anyone would intentionally do this but to give you an idea of the range of toxicity: Dumbcane or diffenbachia causes intense buring and irritation of mouth, nausea and vomiting according to the ASPCA list. Many years ago my then 2 year old daughter and 5 year old Siberian Husky at my entire six foot high diffenbachia house plant. The only thing left was the large base and the main stems of the leaves. I called poison control immediately and they just laughed and said both of them might throw up. Neither of them showed any symptoms at all - thank goodness. Where was I, you might ask? In the shower and they were in the bedroom with a tot handle on the door. My daughter opened it by just removing the tot handle and dropping it on the floor. Guess I should have put them on when she was not watching!

Currently I have numerous asparagus ferns in my backyard. All my huskies enjoyed their berries with no ill effects. My doodles eat the berries also without any of the symptoms mentioned. It is always better to err on the side of caution, but take "poisonous" with a grain of salt.

Maryann, the ASPCA list is the non-toxic plants.

You can choose either to look at - I chose the toxic to dog only plants. I did look at the non toxic plants briefly and recognized almost none of them.

Well, I guess it's best used as a reference to answer questions about whether a particular plant (also fruits & vegetables) is toxic if a dog should eat it. I was able to use it recently to answer someone's question about whether mulberries were dangerous for dogs.
