Absolutely not.
Never, ever feed eucalyptus to a dog. Keep all home-grown eucalyptus plants out of their reach. The plant is toxic to dogs as the chemicals can lead to vomiting, diarrhoea and lethargy.

∙ 14y agoYES !!!! We had a sheltie when I was growing up in South Florida and she would be eat up with fleas (before front line came around). Our pest control guy told us about washing the dog in eucalyptus soap. At that time you could buy it at the local GNC. It worked great and Buttons was itchy free... We bathed her once a week in it and if she had fleas the would just keel over and we rinsed them off of her. We used the eucalypus soap on her for many, many years.

∙ 10y agoEucalyptus, both the plant and the essential oil, is toxic to dogs - it causes salivation, nausea and other gastrointestinal problems.

Which mammal feeds exclusively on leaves of the eucalyptus tree?
No mammal feeds exclusively on eucalyptus tree leaves. However, the koala feeds almost exclusively on leaves and flowers of eucalyptus trees.Koalas will not eat all types of eucalyptus, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus. Preferred eucalyptus species vary depending on their locality, so that the species eaten by Victoria koalas will be different to those eaten by north Queensland koalas.Koalas are also known to sometimes dine on the flowers of eucalypts, or the leaves of Melaleuca, Acacia and Leptospermum. However, the vast bulk of their diet comes from eucalyptus leaves, of which they consume 200 to 500g a day. Koalas have been known to also eat the buds, flowers and bark of their preferred species, while dirt also seems to supplement mineral deficiencies.Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala's digestive system is capable of removing the toxins, filtering them out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients.Most animals, with the exception of the Greater Gliderand the Ringtail possum are unable to feed on eucalyptus leaves to any extent. The Greater Glider also feeds almost exclusively on eucalyptus leaves.

What trees do koalas eat the leaves of?
Koalas eat eucalyptus leaves almost exclusively, and even then they do not eat all types of eucalyptus leaves. While there are hundreds of different eucalyptus species in Australia, koalas eat from only about 60 of the species, consuming about half a kilogram of eucalyptus leaves every day. Koalas will not eat all types of eucalyptus, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus.Preferred eucalyptus species vary depending on their locality, so that the species eaten by Victoria koalas will be different to those eaten by north Queensland koalas. Koalas have been known to also eat the buds, flowers and bark of these particular species, while dirt also seems to supplement mineral deficiencies. Koalas have been seen feeding in eucalypt trees such as Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum.

What do koalas eat and how do they eat?
Koalas are specialist feeders, living almost exclusively on a diet of eucalyptus leaves. While there are hundreds of different eucalyptus species in Australia, koalas eat from only about 60 of the species, consuming about half a kilogram of eucalyptus leaves every day. Koalas will not eat all types of eucalyptus, feeding on just 14 species as their primary food source, specifically, the subgenus Symphyomyrphus. Preferred eucalyptus species vary depending on their locality, so that the species eaten by Victoria koalas will be different to those eaten by north Queensland koalas. Koalas have been known to also eat the buds, flowers and bark of these particular species, while dirt also seems to supplement mineral deficiencies. Koalas feed by climbing certain species of eucalyptus trees which are their favoured types. They reach out to grab leaves (and occasionally, eucalyptus blossoms) with their paws, which have opposable thumbs and enable them to grip their food. Koalas nip the leaves from the tree with their sharp front incisors, then chew the leaves up with their broad, sharp molars at the back. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, and most animals cannot eat them. The koala has a uniquely adapted digestive system which is capable of detoxifying the leaves, filtering them out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix, but much longer - around 2 metres in length. The bacteria in the caecum is what breaks down the fibre into a substance which is more readily absorbed by the koala.

What items do koalas like?
The Koala (Phascolarctos cinereus) is a marsupial mammal and is indigenous to Australia. Their closest relative is the wombat. They live in eucalyptus trees and eat only a few types of gum leaves from which they get all nutrients and water requirements. Eucalyptus leaves are tough, toxic and low in nutrition, but the koala has developed a stomach which is capable of removing the toxins from where they are filtered out by the liver. The caecum completes the process by changing the eucalyptus leaves into digestible nutrients. The caecum is similar to the human appendix. The koala must eat over a kilogram of leaves per day to meet its energy requirements. Eucalyptus leaves contain approximately 50% water, 18% fibre, 13% tannins, 8% fat, 5% carbohydrates, 4% protein and 2% minerals. Koalas have been seen feeding in 120 kinds of eucalypt tree including Manna Gum, Swamp Gum, Blue Gum, Forest Red Gum and Grey Gum.
