Ice plants are not veggies to eat, but are plants used in outdoor landscaping. These succulents are popular in areas with little rainfall, as they can survive with relatively small amounts of water. These plants have long, finger-like foliage that’s normally green, but in colder weather the foliage turns colors including purple, blue, orange or red.
Can my dog eat ice plant? While these plants are not toxic to dogs, you should not allow your fur baby to eat ice plants. Can my puppy eat ice plants? No, don’t let your puppy eat these plants. What would happen if my puppy ate some ice plants? The worst would be some digestive issues that could include vomiting and diarrhea, if he ate several plants. If he only eats one leaf, he should be just fine, but watch for any allergic reactions.
