23. Golden pothos plant (Devil’s Ivy)
Some dogs and cats have the habit of eating your houseplants. This is why you need to be very careful with the plants you place near them. The Devil’s Ivy is a very popular household plant, and it’s mildly toxic to pets if consumed. It can cause mouth irritation in the mouth and gastrointestinal tract because of the calcium oxalate crystals it contains. Keep this plant out of reach or rethink it before buying one.
What happens if your pet eats it? The Golden Pothos plant, like many toxic plants, contains insoluble calcium oxalates in the form of small, needle-like crystals. These crystals can cause severe pain, swallowing difficulties, vomiting, excessive drooling, and swelling in dogs if chewed or crushed. Ingesting a large amount of the plant can even lead to choking and asphyxiation, which can be fatal.
