Are creeping fig plants dangerous to animals (puppies)?

I want to plant creeping fig plants around my dog run, but I will be bringing home a new puppy soon and I'm anticipating she will destroy some. They will be on the opposite side of the fence, but puppies work magic. Just want to make sure they won't make her sick

From what I've just read, the sap from Creeping Fig may cause a rash after contact with mouth or skin. See nothing more serious. See site:

Reply:HI I looked it up for you and they say that the berries that they produce are toxic to dogs.





You can do a Internet seach like I did and then you can look to see which one are OK.





I just typed in toxic plants to dogs. It came up with a whole list of plants and flowers and trees that are toxic to dog.


Good luck with your seach!c

Reply:your regular vet should be able to answer this qustion more specifically, but figs (gourds) acccording to the ASPCA are OK, Ficus varieties are dangerous.





I would be more worried about the pup gettting a forgein body in it's GI tract than anything else. Check with your regular vet to be sure.
