Are Ornamental Grasses Poisonous to Dogs?

While most commonly grown ornamental grasses are not toxic to dogs, the following species can cause gastrointestinal issues if consumed:

- Pampas Grass

- Reed Grass

- Fountain Grass

- Quack Grass

- Purple Fountain Grass

- Maiden Grass

For this reason, it is imperative to research a plant's toxicity and be 100% certain it is non-toxic to pets. If a plant's toxicity is not 100% confirmed, it is best to be cautious and avoid that plant altogether.
