Is Aeonium Decorum toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists aeonium decorum 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 safety is not formally confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. The genus is generally considered low-risk, but any succulent can cause mild gastrointestinal upset if a cat or dog ingests it.

Aeonium is not individually listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so its safety is not formally confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. The genus is generally considered low-risk, but any succulent can cause mild gastrointestinal upset if a cat or dog ingests it. 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 decorum.

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.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Aeonium Decorum is mildly toxic to cats as well. See the full aeonium decorum pet-safety guide for both species.
