This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Bromeliads such as Hohenbergia are classified by the ASPCA as non-toxic to cats and dogs. The practical cautions are the toothed leaf margins, which can scratch, and keeping the tank water clean so it does not become a mosquito breeding site; chewed foliage may cause only mild, transient mouth irritation.
