QUESTION:
Are African Violets poisionious to dogs?
ANSWER:
African Violets are pretty darned non-toxic there are no reports of any symptoms
caused by eating this plant. In a screening survey of questionable relevance,
very large doses of extracts of this plant were injected with needles into
animals and some of them died, so the plant is listed as potentially toxic,
but I just wouldn't worry about it. (Spoerke and Smolinske Toxicity of
Houseplants)
