Is Bertolonia Marmorata toxic to dogs?

Bertolonia marmorata

Non-toxic to dogs

No — bertolonia marmorata 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. Bertolonia marmorata is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but its close relative Bertolonia mosaica (Mosaic Plant / Jewel Plant, family Melastomataceae) is ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, so the genus is treated as pet-safe. No toxic principle is reported; as always, discourage pets from chewing any houseplant. If unsure, verify with a vet.
