Is Cupid Peperomia toxic to dogs?

Peperomia scandens 'Variegata'

Non-toxic to dogs

No — cupid peperomia 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. The ASPCA does not list this exact cultivar by name, but it individually lists numerous Peperomia species — including Trailing Peperomia (Peperomia prostrata), Baby Rubber Plant (P. obtusifolia), Watermelon Peperomia (P. argyreia) and Emerald Ripple (P. caperata), all family Piperaceae — as Non-Toxic to Dogs and Non-Toxic to Cats, with no toxic principle or clinical signs noted. Cupid peperomia is widely regarded as pet-safe on this consistent genus-wide pattern. The ASPCA gives no status for horses, and as with any houseplant a pet that eats a large quantity may get mild, transient stomach upset from the plant bulk; if you are concerned about a specific animal, check with your vet.
