Is Dressler's Anthurium toxic to dogs?

Yes — dressler's anthurium is toxic to dogs according to the ASPCA. Keep it well away from any dog that chews plants; reactions can be significant. The ASPCA lists Anthurium as toxic to cats and dogs (and horses) due to insoluble calcium oxalate crystals; chewing causes oral burning, drooling, mouth swelling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. A. dressleri is not individually named on the ASPCA database, but as a true Anthurium aroid it carries the same toxic principle, so treat it as toxic and keep it away from pets.

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 dressler's anthurium.

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: Dressler's Anthurium is toxic to cats as well. See the full dressler's anthurium pet-safety guide for both species.
