What to do if your dog eats it
Nothing required beyond discouraging digging, since eating large amounts of any succulent leaf can cause loose stools.
Common questions
My dog ate a whole clump of sedum — will it be sick?
Possibly mildly — watery leaves and plant fiber can cause a day of soft stool or one vomit. That is mechanical, not toxic.
Are sedum flowers safe too?
Yes. The flat flower heads and the fleshy leaves carry the same non-toxic tissue.
