Is Aeonium Simsii toxic to dogs?

Aeonium simsii

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists aeonium simsii 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 on the ASPCA's toxic or non-toxic plant database, so its status is not formally confirmed. Treat it with caution and keep it away from pets; if your animal ingests any, contact a vet. Do not assume pet-safe without veterinary confirmation.

What to do if your dog ate aeonium simsii

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

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