Is Brazilian Jasmine toxic to dogs?

Mandevilla sanderi

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists brazilian jasmine 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. Mandevilla sanderi (dipladenia) is not individually listed by the ASPCA, so its status is uncertain; treat with caution and verify with a vet. As a dogbane-family (Apocynaceae) plant it produces a milky latex sap that can irritate skin and mucous membranes and may cause gastrointestinal upset if ingested. Keep away from pets and children.
