Is Astroloba Corrugata toxic to dogs?

Astroloba corrugata

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists astroloba corrugata 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. Astroloba is not individually listed by the ASPCA. It is closely related to the ASPCA non-toxic Haworthia and Gasteria, implying low risk, but as the genus itself is not specifically classified, treat it with caution and verify with a vet before assuming it is pet-safe.

What to do if your dog ate astroloba corrugata

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