Is Campanula portenschlagiana toxic to cats?

Campanula portenschlagiana

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists campanula portenschlagiana 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 is not individually listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database (the ASPCA 'Canterbury-bell' entry refers to Gloxinia, not Campanula), so its status is unconfirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset; keep pets from grazing on it.

What to do if your cat ate campanula portenschlagiana

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move campanula portenschlagiana out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.
  3. Do not induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist instructs you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of campanula portenschlagiana to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.
