My dog came in and demolished my left pepper plant. Is there any point to me keeping it?

it’s a new young plant it will recover just let it be and chill, and keep your dog away obviously.

It will bounce back, it will be a little behind the other but it’s not a complete loss
Alohagrown
it will be fine

Yes. Plants can be very resilient. It will start shooting out new growth in no time.
Not a pepper plant but my cousin had a cannabis plant that was almost entirely eaten. He debated throwing it away but kept it. End of the season it was his largest plant. I’ve had pepper plants get destroyed by hail and they made a complete recovery.

It’s actually very common to “top” a plant like this, carry on! You’ll be surprised with the results

thats nothing but an aggressive pruning on your dogs part.
the plant will be fine just be patient.
leave it be, stay calm, soldier on 🫡

Yeah you just get two stems instead of one. It’ll be fine.

I would do the same to the other one, does not look like it was topped

Totally. A deer ate my buddy’s pepper plant almost to nothing. Still got hundreds of peppers by the end of season

You will be surprised how resilient Mother Nature is.

Not only will it bounce back, but the stem will probably make a bunch more shoots and branches for even more pepper.
My cat did this to a habanero plantling one year and it was the biggest crop I’ve ever had

Better now then when the peppers came in.

I think the fact that they are in the sane planter may make it easier for the right to overtake the damaged one. I could be wrong it will survive but probably be stunted more than normal bc the other one is competing

Of course not, ditch the dog.

Plants want to live. It’ll recover

Half of the plant is roots so it should be fine

Don’t really get why you want to keep a wild animal which kills peppers 🤷♂️

I would, it looks ok and plants are resilient., grow it out.
I had a major tornado and hail come through and almost destroyed all of my plants in late may right after they had started taking off. I had some plants reduced to simply a straight stem with roots. All recovered and produced peppers by the end of summer. I actually had quite a few plants grow larger than any I have ever grown in years past.

It’ll be fine. You won’t even remember this happened.

That’s what happened to one of my pepper plants. The wind broke the top off but it was still kinda hanging in there, I felt bad and didn’t want to remove it completely so I just left it that way and the plant suffered for while. I finally decide to cut the broken part off and the plant started thriving again

Yes they are very good at bouncing back ✌️
