are chrysanthemums toxic to dogs

Chrysanthemums are toxic to dogs. Ingesting any part of the chrysanthemum plant can cause symptoms of toxicity including vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, shaking, agitation, incoordination, and skin rashes. The toxic compounds involved include pyrethrins, sesquiterpene lactones, and other irritants. If a dog eats chrysanthemum, it is important to seek veterinary care promptly as treatment may involve activated charcoal, muscle relaxants, intravenous fluids, and medications to control vomiting.
