My dog ate Rosette Rock Jasmine — what to do
Step by step
- Take rosette rock jasmine away and remove any plant material from your dog's mouth so they cannot eat more.
- Note roughly how much was eaten and when — this helps the vet judge the risk.
- Do NOT induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist tells you to.
- Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 (a consultation fee may apply) and follow their advice.
- Watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or lethargy, and bring a leaf or photo to the appointment.
This is general guidance, not veterinary advice. Pets vary, and a reaction may be to soil, fertiliser, or pesticide as well as the plant. When in doubt, call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435.
My dog ate rosette rock jasmine — FAQ
Is rosette rock jasmine poisonous to dogs?
Yes — the ASPCA lists Rosette Rock Jasmine (Androsace sempervivoides) as mildly toxic to dogs. Androsace (Primulaceae) is not individually listed by the ASPCA. The Primulaceae family contains species with saponins and irritant glycosides; ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in pets. As a precaution, treat as mildly toxic and keep away from pets that graze plants.
How serious is it if my dog ate rosette rock jasmine?
Rosette Rock Jasmine is mildly toxic, so most dogs get short-lived mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a life-threatening reaction. It is still worth a vet call to be safe, especially if your dog ate a lot or symptoms persist.
What symptoms should I watch for?
Signs usually appear soon after chewing: drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy. Androsace (Primulaceae) is not individually listed by the ASPCA. The Primulaceae family contains species with saponins and irritant glycosides; ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in pets. As a precaution, treat as mildly toxic and keep away from pets that graze plants. Any worsening or persistent symptoms warrant an immediate vet visit.
Should I make my dog vomit?
No — do not induce vomiting unless a vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center specifically tells you to. The wrong action can make things worse. Call (888) 426-4435 and follow professional advice.
