Carnations are flowering plants belonging to the genus Dianthus. They are commonly found in gardens, floral arrangements, and as decorative plants both indoors and outdoors. While carnations are not highly toxic, they can cause mild gastrointestinal upset in cats and dogs if ingested, including symptoms such as vomiting, drooling, and diarrhea. It is advisable to keep these flowers out of reach of pets to prevent any potential health issues.
