Is Angraecum eburneum toxic to dogs?

Angraecum eburneum

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists angraecum eburneum 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. Angraecum is not individually listed by the ASPCA. No orchid appears on the ASPCA toxic list and orchids are generally regarded as low-risk, but because this genus is unverified, treat with caution and verify with a vet before assuming it is pet-safe.

What to do if your dog ate angraecum eburneum

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

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