Is Carrot 'Solar Yellow' toxic to cats?

Daucus carota subsp. sativus 'Solar Yellow'

Mildly toxic to cats

Mildly. The ASPCA lists carrot 'solar yellow' 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. Cultivated carrot (Daucus carota subsp. sativus) is not individually listed by the ASPCA as toxic or non-toxic; the ASPCA 'Carrot Flower' entry is a different plant. The root is commonly fed to dogs in small amounts, but since it is not ASPCA-confirmed pet-safe, treat with caution and verify with a vet. Foliage and wild carrot may cause mild stomach upset.

What to do if your cat ate carrot 'solar yellow'

  1. Remove any plant material from your cat's mouth and move carrot 'solar yellow' 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.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of carrot 'solar yellow' to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.
