The answer is they "can" be, so it is best to keep your dogs and cats away from them. Different breeds will react differently to it. When I grew up, I had a dog that loved grapes, but he would not pierce a grape, you had to break it for him. Years later, I learned a friend lost his dog after he ate a grape.
Ok thanks alot. I'll get rid of mine then. I saw that willow trees were highly toxic but the internet seemed to say that ***** willows were safe yet that seemed alittle odd to me. And this thing is called a weeping **** willow tree so.... I was nervous. Thanks again.
That's nothing. Here, you can't call a female dog a *****. I have had female dogs that I regularly entered in Open ***** in dog shows. I guess I wouldn't be able to talk about it here.
Open *****
American Bred *****
Bred by Exhibitor *****
Winner's *****
All those ribbons and I can't even talk about it.
lolol
Well... I discovered, early-on, that around here, you can't talk about someone's dancing a ***.
Oh, and as for that ***** willow, Donald would have said a guy can grab one, if he's a star (which is totally true, but apparently he doesn't get to say it, even though it's true).
Anyway, I've never heard of willows being toxic. And even if they are toxic, the animal will probably just throw up and foam at the mouth a bit, as my aunt's Corgi did, after digging-up and chewing her Cut-leaf Philodendron.
I was trying to figure out why I had never heard of the rhymes-with-witch variety of willows.
I've heard of weeping willows, and I've heard of kitty willows, but never weeping kitty willows.
Same here. Its a graft, like a weeping cherry, and usually grown in a pot and kept pruned. The trees that sprout from the root stock will be something else.
A weeping "kitty" willow? Had to look it up. If this is an outdoor plant, I would not remove it unless the dogs were constantly chewing on it, and suffering afterwards.
Quite frequently, food-type stuff that is labeled "poisonous" for dogs, is, but only in VERY large amounts. Like onions, or garlic, or grapes, or avocadoes.
Did you know spinach is poisonous to humans? Yup, sure is. But ONLY in VERY large amounts - more than you would ever voluntarily eat in a day. Same with those other foods and dogs. Now, SOME plants ARE downright poisonous, and not in large amounts - like foxglove, or belladonna - and others. But you won't see your dog or cat eating them, either.
We used to live next to an avocado orchard - and we had a hound who loved to eat the groundfall avocadoes. We couldn't stop her from it. She lived to be 14 years old. I don't think she died from avocado poisoning!
LOL LOL - I never dreamed they would ***** that because it is the name of the plant - another name for a feline cat I guess - LOL or the **** would be a naughty slang word I suppose if your mind is so disposed. Never even dawned on me till you pointed out the *****
I can beat that. When i described the fond on the bottom of a frying pan as g.o.ok, it got censored.
Willow bark contains salicylic acid which is toxic to dogs, and even more so to cats. They would need to be chewing on it for this to happen. It can be as bad as ingesting aspirin which is simply a highly concentrated form.
I have a hard time believing that much of anything at all is toxic to these poop munchers
