Is Drosera Filiformis toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists drosera filiformis 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. Drosera is not listed on the ASPCA Toxic/Non-Toxic Plants database, so toxicity to cats and dogs is unverified. The sticky mucilage and chewed leaves may cause mild oral or gastrointestinal irritation. Because it is not ASPCA-listed it cannot be labelled pet-safe — keep out of reach and consult a vet if ingested rather than assuming safety.

Because it is not ASPCA-listed it cannot be labelled pet-safe — keep out of reach and consult a vet if ingested rather than assuming safety. 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 drosera filiformis.

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.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Drosera Filiformis is mildly toxic to cats as well. See the full drosera filiformis pet-safety guide for both species.
