Is Alice's Sundew toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists alice's sundew 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. The ASPCA does not individually list Drosera aliciae, and no sundew or Drosera species appears anywhere in its toxic or non-toxic plant database, so a clean pet-safe status cannot be confirmed. As a precaution treat it as mildly toxic — ingestion of any plant matter can cause mild stomach upset or vomiting — and verify with your vet before allowing pet access.

Signs usually appear soon after chewing rather than hours later — watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy after your dog has had access to alice's sundew.

Stay calm. Remove any plant from your dog's mouth and take the plant away. Note how much was eaten and when, and do not induce vomiting unless told to. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice; a leaf or photo helps the vet treat it correctly.
