Why Rhubarb Should Be Avoided
Rhubarb leaves are highly toxic to dogs — they contain high concentrations of oxalic acid and soluble oxalate salts. Ingestion can cause drooling, loss of appetite, vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy, weakness, tremors, bloody urine, and in severe cases, kidney failure. The stalks contain lower levels of oxalates and are less dangerous, but it is safest to keep dogs away from the entire rhubarb plant. If you grow rhubarb, fence it off from your garden.
