Is Brassavola digbyana toxic to dogs?

Brassavola digbyana

Non-toxic to dogs

No — brassavola digbyana 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. Orchids are broadly regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs (the ASPCA lists Cattleya and Phalaenopsis as non-toxic) (e.g. Cattleya and Phalaenopsis are explicitly non-toxic, and Brassavola/Rhyncholaelia is a close Cattleya-alliance relative). No toxic principle is reported. As with any non-food plant, excessive chewing may cause mild, transient GI upset, and avoid pets ingesting plants treated with pesticides.
