Eating plants

Question
My Pomeranian always eats or tear the leaves off my peace lily. Why?

Answer
Hi Bernadette,

Thanks for sending me a question here at AllExperts!

It's difficult for me to say why your Pommie is eating leaves off your peace lily.  I would suggest that you take a look at plants that are poisonous to dogs and make sure that peace lily isn't amongst them.  If so, you want to prevent your dog from eating the leaves.

Here's a Web site that will give you a pretty complete listing of plants and foods poisonous to dogs, with links for more information:

This should help you make an informed decision about whether or not to let your Pommie continue eating the leaves and whether or not you may need to move the plant or section if off away from her in some manner.

Hope this advice helps!
