Eating poinsettias is somewhat dangerous for dogs, specifically because of the white sap it produces. The sap contains diterpenoid euphorbol esters and detergents. The Animal Poison Control Center deals with dozens of cases involving poinsettia consumption every year, often with symptoms including moderate gastrointestinal distress, vomiting, diarrhea, and drooling. If the sap is exposed to skin or eyes it can also be an irritant or result in pink eye. However, poinsettia poisoning is rarely severe and does not often require veterinary attention.
