Is Bearded-Stem Peperomia toxic to dogs?

Peperomia caulibarbis

Non-toxic to dogs

No — bearded-stem peperomia is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs. It is a sensible choice for a home with a dog; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The ASPCA lists multiple Peperomia species (including P. obtusifolia, P. caperata, P. argyreia, and P. griseoargentea) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, with no toxic members of the genus identified. Peperomia caulibarbis is considered pet-safe on this consistent genus-wide basis. As with any houseplant, ingestion of a large quantity may cause mild, transient digestive upset; if your pet eats it, consult your vet.
