Is Campanula persicifolia toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists campanula persicifolia 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. Campanula persicifolia is not individually listed by the ASPCA, so it cannot be asserted as pet-safe. Bellflowers are widely described as non-toxic in horticultural sources, but lacking ASPCA confirmation, treat with caution; large amounts may cause mild stomach upset, and verify with a vet if your pet ingests it.

Campanula persicifolia is not individually listed by the ASPCA, so it cannot be asserted as pet-safe. Bellflowers are widely described as non-toxic in horticultural sources, but lacking ASPCA confirmation, treat with caution; large amounts may cause mild stomach upset, and verify with a vet if your pet ingests it. 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 campanula persicifolia.

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.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Campanula persicifolia is mildly toxic to cats as well. See the full campanula persicifolia pet-safety guide for both species.
