I'm not sure why you wouldn't expect a giant to make its save versus the same poison that affects a humanoid. I get drunk off of X amount of alcohol, but that is determined by a number of factors including my size. The amount of alcohol that would get me floored, to a giant, is like a single shot or less and would therefore have little to no effect. It would need a giant sized portion. The same applies with most poisons. Healthy adults survive contact with poisonous substances all the time (albeit suffering sickness) that would severely harm or kill a cat or child.
