Poinsettias Are Not Poisonous to Our Pets | Prentiss County Extension Office
Poinsettias are NOT poisonous to our pets! While poinsettias are not poisonous to our pets, they can cause gastrointestinal symptoms. If you’re still worried, just keep your beautiful poinsettias out of the reach of the fur babies.
A more likely risk is that a person with sensitive skin could develop a skin rash or contact dermatitis from touching the poinsettia’s milky sap, which is closely related to latex. To be safe, always wash your hands after handling your poinsettia.
