Bamboo

I am interested in the dangers of two plants to my dogs: Croton and bamboo. What can you tell me?   

- Sheri B.

Sheri, Croton species are members of the Euphorbiaceae family, and can cause gastrointestinal irritation, including abdominal discomfort, vomiting and diarrhea. Based on this information, it is advisable to keep this plant out of your dogs’ reach.

There are several different varieties of bamboo, all with varying degrees of toxic potential. In order to provide you with the most relevant information, we need to know the scientific name or genus and species of the bamboo plant in question. Once we have this, we will be happy to provide you with more details.
