Is Buddleja davidii 'White Profusion' toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists buddleja davidii 'white profusion' 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. Buddleja davidii is not individually listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so its status is not formally confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. No major toxic principle is documented for pets, but ingesting leaves or flowers may cause mild gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, drooling) in cats and dogs.

Buddleja davidii is not individually listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so its status is not formally confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. No major toxic principle is documented for pets, but ingesting leaves or flowers may cause mild gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, drooling) in cats and dogs. 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 buddleja davidii 'white profusion'.

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.
