My dog just chewed on my Stella D’Oro daylilies in the backyard—are they toxic to him? Should I call the vet immediately?

I just found my dog in the backyard munching on a few of my Stella D’Oro daylilies. I’m worried because I’m not sure if these particular daylilies are toxic to dogs. Should I be calling the vet right away, or is there something else I should do to ensure he’s okay?

Answer

Your dog has ingested Stella D’Oro daylilies, which may cause gastrointestinal upset but are generally not considered highly toxic to dogs.

  • Observe for any signs of vomiting or diarrhea
  • Ensure your dog has plenty of fresh water
  • Contact a veterinarian if you notice any worrying symptoms

Generally, Stella D’Oro daylilies are not known to cause severe symptoms in dogs. However, your dog might experience mild stomach upset, including vomiting or diarrhea. These symptoms are typically self-limiting, and your dog might get better on its own. However, if you are concerned or notice any unusual symptoms, contacting a veterinarian for advice is always a good idea. It's better to be safe and have peace of mind about your pet’s health.
