Risks:

  • Heart Issues
  • Seizures
  • Death

Mistletoe contains multiple toxic compounds, including lectins and phoratoxins, which can be extremely dangerous for dogs. Eating any part of the plant can cause severe vomiting, diarrhea, abnormal heart rate, low blood pressure, seizures, and even death. Keep holiday mistletoe far out of reach of dogs and seek immediate vet care for any ingestion.

Please Note: I'm not a veterinarian or dietician.

I've strived to find accurate information and tried to remove any ambiguities. I've re-checked these items multiple times for accuracy, but it's always possible that something slipped through unnoticed. If anything's incorrect, please let me know so I can fix it.

When in doubt, ask your veterinarian.

It's important to note that while some items may not be directly toxic, quantity plays a major role. Many human foods are high in salt, sugar, and fat, for example, which can be unhealthy for dogs if consumed regularly or in large amounts.

Remember, even "safe" things can be dangerous in high enough quantities.
