Is Britt-Marie Crawford Ligularia toxic to dogs?

Ligularia dentata 'Britt-Marie Crawford'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists britt-marie crawford ligularia 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. Ligularia is not individually listed by the ASPCA Toxic or Non-Toxic Plant database, so its status is uncertain; treat with caution and verify with a vet. Importantly, Ligularia (a relative of ragwort/Senecio) contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids that are hepatotoxic to grazing animals, so it should be regarded as potentially harmful — keep pets and livestock from eating it and seek veterinary advice if a significant amount is consumed.
