Is Aeonium Castello-Paivae 'Variegata' toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists aeonium castello-paivae 'variegata' 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. Aeonium is not individually listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so its status is not formally confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. The genus is generally regarded as low-risk, but ingesting any succulent can cause mild gastrointestinal upset in cats and dogs.

Aeonium is not individually listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so its status is not formally confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. The genus is generally regarded as low-risk, but ingesting any succulent can cause mild gastrointestinal upset in cats and dogs. Signs usually appear soon after chewing rather than hours later — watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy after your dog has had access to aeonium castello-paivae 'variegata'.

Stay calm. Remove any plant from your dog's mouth and take the plant away. Note how much was eaten and when, and do not induce vomiting unless told to. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice; a leaf or photo helps the vet treat it correctly.
