Are eucalyptus leaves poisonous

Answer 1

Eucalyptus leaves contain phenols, which are toxic to cats. These cannot be processed by their systems, thus building up. Even if they are not eating it, but if it is an oil or a candle being burned, it can get inhaled into their bodies. The phenols are known to damage their liver over time.

Eucalyptus is considered safe for dogs and humans, but please take care in using too much of it, as too much of anything is never good.

Just remember, please do NOT use eucalyptus in a house with a cat. Most veterinarians now know of the side effects, and will advise you against use. There are always more pet friendly options.
