Is Autumn Joy Stonecrop toxic to dogs?

Sedum 'Autumn Joy'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists autumn joy stonecrop 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. The genus Sedum is broadly regarded as low-risk and the ASPCA lists some Sedum species (e.g. Sedum album) as non-toxic, but 'Autumn Joy' (a Hylotelephium hybrid) is not individually listed by the ASPCA. Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset such as vomiting. Treat with mild caution and verify with a vet if a pet eats a significant amount rather than assuming it is fully pet-safe.
