Is Cephalophyllum tricolorum toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists cephalophyllum tricolorum 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. Cephalophyllum tricolorum is not individually listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so its status is treated as uncertain — verify with a vet before trusting it around pets. Although the ASPCA lists representative ice-plant genera in the Aizoaceae (Lampranthus and Dinteranthus) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, the common name 'ice plant' is shared by many species and we do not assert pet-safe without a species-level listing.

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 cephalophyllum tricolorum.

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: Cephalophyllum tricolorum is mildly toxic to cats as well. See the full cephalophyllum tricolorum pet-safety guide for both species.
