Peace lilies are on the toxic list for dogs. However, it depends on how much he ingests. Peace will cause the following symptoms: oral irritation, intense burning and irritation of mouth, tongue and lips, excessive drooling, vomiting, difficulty swallowing. If the dogs develops beathing problems, excessive drooling and/or difficulty swallowing call your vet. The dog may need something to counteract the insoluble calcium oxalates from the peace lily.
Please keep me posted on your dog. I have 2 dogs myself and will worry until I know how yours is.

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for the information. I was afraid of that plant being toxic. My dog has never given the peace lily and second look. My son’s dog on the other hand has been getting into trouble a lot this week.
I’m babysitting his dog. My daughter-n-law is on the way to my house to check on her. I’ll let you know the outcome. I appreciate your concern.
Thanks,
Gina
