Is Angel's Trumpet toxic to dogs?

Yes — angel's trumpet is toxic to dogs according to the ASPCA. Keep it well away from any dog that chews plants; reactions can be significant. Angel's trumpet is highly toxic to cats, dogs, horses and humans. Brugmansia is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but the Pet Poison Helpline and toxicology sources classify it toxic: all parts (flowers, leaves and especially seeds) contain tropane alkaloids (atropine, scopolamine, hyoscyamine) that cause dilated pupils, dry mouth, rapid heartbeat, agitation, seizures and can be fatal. Keep it well away from pets and seek immediate veterinary care after any ingestion.

Signs usually appear soon after chewing rather than hours later — watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy after your dog has had access to angel's trumpet.

Stay calm. Remove any plant from your dog's mouth and take the plant away. Note how much was eaten and when, and do not induce vomiting unless told to. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice; a leaf or photo helps the vet treat it correctly.
