My dog ate Thessalian Aubrieta — what to do

Step by step

  1. Take thessalian aubrieta away and remove any plant material from your dog's mouth so they cannot eat more.
  2. Note roughly how much was eaten and when — this helps the vet judge the risk.
  3. Do NOT induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist tells you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 (a consultation fee may apply) and follow their advice.
  5. 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 thessalian aubrieta — FAQ

Is thessalian aubrieta poisonous to dogs?

Yes — the ASPCA lists Thessalian Aubrieta (Aubrieta thessala) as mildly toxic to dogs. Aubrieta is not listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant database. No specific toxic principles are documented in horticultural literature, but absence from the database is not a confirmed safety clearance. Classify as mildly-toxic and advise caution with pets.

How serious is it if my dog ate thessalian aubrieta?

Thessalian Aubrieta 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. Aubrieta is not listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant database. No specific toxic principles are documented in horticultural literature, but absence from the database is not a confirmed safety clearance. Classify as mildly-toxic and advise caution with pets. 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.

How do I stop this happening again?
