Is Aeonium Canariense toxic to dogs?

Aeonium canariense

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists aeonium canariense as mildly toxic to dogs — a chewing dog 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. Aeonium is not individually listed by the ASPCA, so its status is unconfirmed; treat with caution as mildly toxic and verify with a vet before assuming it is safe. Most Crassulaceae succulents cause only mild gastrointestinal upset (drooling, vomiting) if chewed, but absence of an ASPCA listing means we do not assert pet-safe.

What to do if your dog ate aeonium canariense

  1. Remove any plant material from your dog's mouth and move aeonium canariense 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 aeonium canariense to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.

General guidance, not veterinary advice. If you think your dog has eaten aeonium canariense, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 — do not wait for symptoms to worsen.
