My dog ate some leaves off a caroling reaper hot pepper plant. Is this plant poisonous ?
-
Hot pepper plants contain substances that may irritate a dog's gastrointestinal tract and cause vomiting and diarrhea, but, they are unlikely to be lethal.

I can't find any information that says they are or aren't toxic to dogs. If it has been less than 2 hours since your pet ate it, you can induce vomiting by giving an oral dose of hydrogen peroxide, about 1 cc per pound. One tablespoon is about 5 cc. A turkey baster will work if you don't have a syringe. Longer than two hours and it will have already moved into the intestines.
If you have doubts, I suggest calling a pet poison helpline, such as this one:
