Chirita micromusa

Non-toxic to dogs

No — chirita micromusa is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs. It is a sensible choice for a home with a dog; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Chirita/Microchirita is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the genus belongs to Gesneriaceae alongside the African violet (Saintpaulia) and Streptocarpus, which the ASPCA classifies as non-toxic to cats and dogs. No toxic principle is associated with these gesneriads; it is regarded as pet-safe, though pets should still be discouraged from chewing foliage.
