Yesterday I purchased a Wisteria Tree...Could it kill my dogs?

When I purchased it, I knew little about them other than they were beautiful. Today I did some research to find out how to prune them and learned that the seeds that they release are poisonous. I was going to put it in my backyard, but now I am not sure I want to with the possibility that it may be harmful to my beloved Beagles. Any insight to this will be much apreciated. What is the likely hood that the seeds will be tempting to them? If they do eat them could it kill them?





Thanks!

I have a Wisteria, and dogs. If you dont want the dogs chewing on the seeds remove the pods before they pop open. The pods take months to develop.
Reply:Yeah I believe that all parts of the Wisteria is toxic. I have a hound dog too. just keep an eye out I knoew that they eat everything but usually it would take more than a nibble to kill them. My coon hound started chewing on daffodils I didnt kill her but I think I didnt taste to good either she sticks to my daylilies and misc bark wood (you know) :) I would think that they would have to ingest a fair amount to be lethal and thats if they dont throw up. Dont worry to much and keep an eye on them there is alot of toxic plants and I think they get a taste or throw up and end up staying away from them.
Reply:call your vet and ask how often he's treated dogs for wisteria poisoning....
