House plants - toxic - Ponsinetta

Hi
Does anyone know if the Ponsinetta leaves are poisonous if ingested? Ive looked on a few sites but this particular plant is not listed although I have at the back of my mind that I read somewhere the leaves are.

If you Google Poinsettia+poisonous+dogs you will find conflicting views. It would seem that Poinsettias are low in toxins, however I would err on the side of caution and not leave them within reach.

I'd caught her eating [pup] a leaf and taken it out of her mouth and next day she was sick, not poorly but sick a couple of times. Right as rain the next day [today] but our older Boxer was sick today and she definitely didnt eat a leaf or anything like it so must have been a bug or something. Both are fine tonight.

Thanks for the address on google.
