Why Hibiscus is safe
The common Hibiscus syriacus varieties listed by ASPCA are non-toxic to dogs. Any plant material can still cause mild stomach upset if a dog eats a lot of it.
Signs to watch for
Usually none; possible mild vomiting, diarrhea, or drooling after eating plant material
What to do next
Keep the packaging or take a clear photo of the plant, note what may be missing, and call for case-specific guidance even if your dog looks normal.

FAQ
A nibble or a flower is usually low risk. Repeated vomiting, a large amount, or an unknown hibiscus product deserves veterinary advice.
Remove access to the plant and offer normal water. Monitor for brief stomach upset; do not treat at home if the plant identity is uncertain.
Call your veterinarian or an animal poison control center with the exact product or plant, amount, time, and your dog's weight.
