Is Two-Lobed Cone Plant toxic to dogs?

Conophytum bilobum

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists two-lobed cone plant 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. Conophytum bilobum is not individually listed by the ASPCA. As an Aizoaceae mesemb, specific toxicity data is limited. Some members of the family contain alkaloids or oxalic acid. Treat as mildly toxic as a precaution and keep away from pets and children.
