Is Crossandra infundibuliformis 'Mango' toxic to dogs?

Crossandra infundibuliformis 'Mango'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists crossandra infundibuliformis 'mango' 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. Crossandra infundibuliformis is not individually listed on the ASPCA's toxic or non-toxic plant database, and the genus Crossandra is unlisted. Without authoritative ASPCA non-toxic confirmation, treat it as uncertain and potentially mildly toxic; keep it away from pets and consult a vet if any is chewed or swallowed.
