My dog ate Trailing Rock Jasmine — what to do

Step by step

  1. Take trailing rock jasmine 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 trailing rock jasmine — FAQ

Is trailing rock jasmine poisonous to dogs?

Yes — the ASPCA lists Trailing Rock Jasmine (Androsace lanuginosa) as mildly toxic to dogs. Androsace lanuginosa is not listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant database. As confirmed pet safety data is absent, this species is conservatively classified as mildly toxic. Monitor pets for GI upset if ingestion is suspected and seek veterinary advice.

How serious is it if my dog ate trailing rock jasmine?

Trailing 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 lanuginosa is not listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant database. As confirmed pet safety data is absent, this species is conservatively classified as mildly toxic. Monitor pets for GI upset if ingestion is suspected and seek veterinary advice. 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?

Keep trailing rock jasmine well out of reach, or swap it for an ASPCA non-toxic plant — see the best dogs-safe plants list.
