Many plants that are toxic to our dogs are toxic as well for us (i.e.: oleanders, Euphorbia pulcherrima = Christmas flower, Taxus bacata, crocus and many more) You are always on the safe side to just keep your dog off any plants (finally those are not to chew up but rather please the eye :-) Let them have instead some carrots, apples, some strawberries or other safe fruits to chew on which does something for their health as well.
