Hibiscus plants and dogs?

I just planted a hibiscus and my dog is eating the buds off of the bushes and when she goes to the bathroom it comes out whole. Is it ok for her to be eating these? Do I need to pull them out and replant them in the front yard?
Hibiscus plants and dogs?
I looked at 3 different sites and It was not listed on any of the sites. That doesn't mean that they are safe it just means they didn't list it as toxic to dogs.

I still wouldn't let my dog eat these plants though.



Ok I just found this for you ok.

According to Dr. William Buck, director of the National Animal Poison Control Center (NAPCC) at the University of Illinois College of Veterinary Medicine in Urbana, "a lot of ornamental plants have irritating sap that will cause an animal to salivate or maybe vomit and have diarrhea."



He says that plants like the hibiscus and those in the Easter lily family, which are not toxic to people, may be very harmful to pets. Two or three days after cats have eaten a few leaves of a Tiger lily or Easter lily, they will go into renal failure. After ingesting hibiscus, a dog will vomit persistently, may vomit blood and have bloody diarrhea. "The loss of body fluid may be severe enough to be lethal in some cases," Dr. Buck



So yes they can be very toxic to dogs. I'd move the plants very quickly.



I posted some site in my source box for you to look at ok!
