Clematis

I have a clematis plant in my backyard. If my dog were to chew on it, could it cause her to become sick?

Clematis belongs to the Ranunulaceae family of plants, and contains an irritant substance known as protoanemonin. Because this substance has the potential to produce both dermal and gastrointestinal irritation if consumed, your dog should be discouraged from chewing on your clematis plant.
