Hosta plants

[djprescott]

Is hosta plants harmful to pets if they eat the leaves?

[andyjevs]

Not that i'm aware of. Slugs love 'em and they seem to do ok !!!

[woofgang]

only if the hosta owner gets really upset!! more seriously, I guess a puppy or kitten could choke as the leaves are quite fibrous...can't imagine it actually doing them much good

Thanks for the answers! A friends puppy has been bad and looks like he has eaten some of the leaves but I didn't think they would be poisonous.

It's probably not connected. Cheers.

could be just the excess of fibre. puppies systems arer easy to upset like that
