Is this plant poisonous to my dog?

I just bought a Massangeane Cane, or Dracaena it's also called. I want to put it on the floor, as it is large. Does anyone know if it's ok for my dog....I have tried finding info online, but there is no mention of toxicity

Is this plant poisonous to my dog?
I do not know if this plant is poisonous, but the best advice that I can give you is to contact your veterinarian. If you can't get an answer from that direction, contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. That particular plant is not on their website list of toxic plants, but it's better to be safe than sorry. You can submit a question at their website at http://www.aspca.org/toxicplants


I hope this helps.
Reply:Better safe than sorry, as the old adage says. I'd keep the dog out of the room your plant is in if that's feasible. Otherwise, plants make wonderful gifts!
Reply:have you talked to your vet
Reply:I'm not sure if it is poisonous, try the library for plant books. Cheaper than a vet bill. Librarian can help you find what you're looking for. I do know that the WetJet Mop contains enough anti-freeze that can kill pets. They absorb it through the pads on their feet. They don't need to drink the stuff. Just had to let you know, to keep your dog from getting poisoned.
