Check Geranium for your dog
Enter your dog's details for a straight answer sized to them.
Why Geranium needs caution
Geraniums (Pelargonium) contain essential oils, linalool and geraniol, that irritate the digestive tract and skin. ASPCA lists geranium as toxic to dogs, and larger ingestions can bring on more than stomach upset.
Signs to watch for
Vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, decreased appetite, skin irritation; with larger ingestions, wobbliness, muscle weakness, or low body temperature
What to do next
Signs are usually mild and pass on their own. Call your vet if your dog ate a large amount or seems weak or uncoordinated.
