Common questions

Is moneywort in my pond the same plant?

Yes — Lysimachia nummularia grows happily in water margins and is equally non-toxic there. Just be mindful of pond treatments if your dog drinks from it.

My dog eats patches of the lawn mat — will that hurt?

The plant is safe, but large wads of any greenery can cause a stomach upset or, rarely, a stringy mass that is hard to pass. Discourage grazing and call the vet if vomiting repeats.
