Is Aeonium Sunburst toxic to dogs?

Aeonium davidbramwellii 'Sunburst'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists aeonium sunburst 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's toxic or non-toxic plant database, so its status is unconfirmed. Treat it with caution as potentially mildly irritating, keep it away from pets, and verify with a vet or ASPCA Poison Control if ingestion occurs rather than assuming it is pet-safe.

What to do if your dog ate aeonium sunburst

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

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