In reply to Arla. Hi Arla. There isn’t much known for many native Australian plants, but just like with all the others, their widespread use suggests they are reasonably safe.

I can’t find anything on Google for Grevilleas – Mt Tamboritha and Rhyolitica Dey’s Flame.
Are they poisonous to dogs?
Thank you.

In reply to Lisa Garcia. Hi Lisa. No sorry I don’t know much about it, and I doubt anyone else does either. Sometimes however, the lack of news is it self a good sign.

Hi thanks for the information!
Do you know if the fruit from the soap tree (aka red ash, leatherjacket, alphitonia excelsa) is something I should worry about? The council land has a tree that drops it into my yard. The Corella’s eat it but I don’t know if that makes it safe for my dog.
Thanks so much.

In reply to Leah. Hi Leah. I have English box in my garden and, like most dog owners, I find they show no interest in it. It’s fairly low risk even though known to be somewhat toxic.

Should I be removing the English box hedge from my garden? We are bringing home a pup in November.

In reply to helen blackburn. Hi Helen. If your cat has been secretly eating the fertiliser, this could be a cause of long-term illness such as vomiting and weight loss. However, it’s also worth considering that eating the blood and bone may be a symptom of an altered appetite, such as occurs with thyroid disease in cats. Definitely worth a check at the vet.
