The ASPCA does not list Oncidium orchids as toxic. Its closest Oncidium entry, the Golden Shower Orchid (Oncidium sphacelatum), is listed as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, with the toxic principle recorded as "non-toxic". The chocolate orchid ('Sharry Baby') is an Oncidium hybrid and is considered pet-safe. As with any non-food plant, a curious pet chewing leaves may still get mild, transient stomach upset, so discourage nibbling and consult your vet if a large amount is eaten.
