Dog or ginger? Dog or ginger? Dog or ginger?

I'd check out 1-800-DogPound.......

Well, at least we know it's not toxic!

It probably improved his breath ;-)

Hedychium is not toxic to dogs, but the red pinecone blooms of Zingiber zerumbet (shampoo ginger, Awapuhi) are toxic to dogs. Other pinecone type inflos on other zingibers may be toxic as well.

Mikey, believe me there are times that I wish I could get rid of her. Lucky for her that she's so cute and this is the only flower bed she goes after (not to mention my sister would kill me if I got rid of her dog!). Now that it's run out of ginger the dog's starting in on the mondo grass that borders the flower bed the ginger is in. I'm seriously considering getting some of that invisible electric fence and putting it around the bed.

Bihai, thanks for the info. I didn't know that the shampoo ginger's flower cones are toxic, fortunatly the dog didn't attack the shampoo ginger anywhere near as much as the butterfly.
