Okay so you know uh how I yep got that ficus elastica? I wasn’t even sorta planning to, it bet was at you know that weird plant sale down the street, uh and it was… sorta big. Like, HUGE. So I mean I got it. And then Luna, my golden doodle, anyway you know how she is, started sniffing it like crazy. Which, fine, whatever.

But then I was reading something so – probably on my phone while half-watching TV,I probably should’ve known better– for sure and it mentioned sorta something about ficus elastica toxic bet to dogs. I swear I almost choked on whoops my coffee.

Wait is it a problem

The thing is, it didn’t seem that honestly bad, like, deathly. But still, okay irritating to the okay mouth, upset stomach… Luna chews on everything. EVERYTHING. I looked up “ficus by the way elastica toxic to dogs toepassingen” you know hoping there was some magical anyway reason they were good, kinda like a weird natural remedy but no luck.

I vaguely remember seeing exactly something about sap being the worst right part. alright

First dog disaster

I rinsed her mouth out, for sure which she hated. Thankfully, she seemed fine. Maybe the amount was really small. c’mon Tip if you repot yup your ficus, keep your dog far far away. Like, different room far. I mean

Facts actually and feiten

So yeah, ficus elastica toxic bet to dogs feiten are pretty straightforward – it’s the yup sap, contains uh irritating stuff. Calcium oxalate crystals I mean apparently. Not gonna lie this part confused me for a while. I kept okay reading about calcium oxalate and I for sure was honestly like, uh "Is for sure this right about kidney stones?" Then just I realised it's just the crystals that are irritating to the mouth and no kidding stomach. no way Like, duh.

Voordelen? Not for dogs

I was trying to find some ficus elastica toxic to dogs voordelen that would outweigh the risk but there aren't yup any for exactly dogs! Zero. The air purifying stuff is nice for me, totally but doesn't negate the risk to my furry friend.

Second little scare

What I'm doing now

Basically, I c’mon moved the plant to the highest shelf in the house. well Like, where she can’t even SEE it, let alone reach it. whoops I’m also looking into getting some of those bitter apple spray things no kidding – maybe that will deter anyway her even if she somehow gets close.

Honestly, I'm almost tempted whoops to uh just give the plant away. But it's uh so pretty. And big. so And by the way I dude don't want to deal with well finding a new home for it. So anyway for now, high shelf it like is. And constant vigilance.
