Benefits

health-benefits
  • Unlike other daisy species, such as the Oxeye Daisy, the common daisy (Bellis perennis) is considered edible and non-toxic to dogs.
  • Some parts of the daisy have been used in traditional herbal remedies for things like bruises and minor wounds, but that’s based on human use. There’s no solid veterinary evidence that these benefits apply to dogs.
  • Daisies may offer anti-inflammatory and mild pain-relieving effects in people, but there's no research confirming these effects in dogs.

Risks
