Safety status
What this means for your dog
Dogs handle chrysanthemums better than cats, but the plant is still on ASPCA's toxic list. A dog grazing on garden mums usually develops short-lived stomach upset rather than the neurologic picture cats can show.
What to watch for
Vomiting, diarrhea, drooling, and an unsteady gait are the most common signs. Sap contact may produce a localized rash. Severe tremors, weakness, or seizures are rare but possible after large or concentrated ingestion.
Time window
Onset can range from minutes to a few hours; mild gastrointestinal signs usually resolve within about 24 hours with supportive care.
When to call the vet
Call your veterinarian or ASPCA Poison Control (888-426-4435) if vomiting won't stop, your dog seems wobbly, or you see tremors, weakness, or seizures — those need immediate care.
