It was Coleus that started us on our journey to help pet owners identify items that may be dangerous to their pets. Our younger dog Chauncey ingested Coleus (he recovered well) and the rest is history. While coleus plants are nontoxic to humans, the essential oils they contain are toxic to pets. If a dog or cat eats coleus plant parts, it could cause symptoms such as diarrhea, vomiting, depression and loss of appetite. If you suspect your pet has eaten this plant, contact your veterinarian immediately, or call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888-426-4435 ASPCA
