Is Calceolaria Herbeohybrida toxic to cats?

Calceolaria × herbeohybrida

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists calceolaria herbeohybrida as mildly toxic to cats — a chewing cat typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Calceolaria is not individually listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so a definitive pet-safe status cannot be confirmed. Treat with caution: ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset such as drooling or vomiting. Keep away from pets and verify with a vet if a cat or dog eats any.

What to do if your cat ate calceolaria herbeohybrida

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move calceolaria herbeohybrida out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.

  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
