Can dogs get poison ivy? They can, but thankfully, dogs don't seem to get poison ivy nearly as commonly as humans. Thanks to their long, protective hair coat, the oils from poison ivy just can't reach the skin. Unfortunately, these oils can be spread from Itchy Izzy to you. Use caution when hiking through poison ivy with Izzy and avoid petting her immediately after. If you bring a towel, dry wipe her off after hiking (while wearing gloves!). Often you can minimize the likelihood of her transmitting these oils to you. If itchy Izzy has short hair and does get poison ivy, try bathing her in a colloidal oatmeal shampoo - they have them for dogs too!

The name 'poison ivy' is applied to a weed that isn't poisonous to wildlife, but is to humans. For it contains urushiol oil, which is a skin irritant to humans. The oil may be inhaled when poison ivy is burned. Or it may be absorbed when an individual touches poison ivy, or something that has touched the plant. In the case of inhalation, or of an outbreak on the face, poison ivy contact is considered a medical emergency.

No, they don't. Some animals like deer, horses, cows, goats and beetles can eat poison ivy. But if you have a pet cat or dog that was around poison ivy, you could get it from them. You should bathe your pet if it rolled in or touched poison ivy.
