Codonatanthus 'Sunset'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists codonatanthus 'sunset' 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. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Codonatanthus 'Sunset' is an intergeneric Codonanthe x Nematanthus hybrid and is not individually listed by the ASPCA; neither parent genus has a documented toxic principle, but the cross is unverified, so treat it with caution and confirm with a vet rather than assuming pet-safe. Keep out of reach of pets.
