Is Milky Bellflower 'Prichard's Variety' toxic to cats?
Campanula lactiflora
Mildly. The ASPCA lists milky bellflower 'prichard's variety' 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. Campanula lactiflora is not listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database. Most Campanula species have low reported toxicity to pets, but given the absence of a specific ASPCA non-toxic listing, a conservative 'mildly-toxic' rating is appropriate. Large ingestions may cause mild gastrointestinal upset; seek veterinary advice if a pet consumes a significant quantity.
