Is Dyckia brevifolia toxic to dogs?

No — dyckia brevifolia 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. Dyckia is a terrestrial bromeliad in the Bromeliaceae family. It is not individually named on the ASPCA list, but ASPCA-listed bromeliads such as the Blushing Bromeliad (Neoregelia) and Pineapple (Ananas comosus) are non-toxic to cats and dogs, and the family contains no known toxic principle. The genuine danger here is physical: the hooked saw-tooth leaf margins can cut skin, so keep it out of reach of pets and children.

Yes — the ASPCA lists dyckia brevifolia as non-toxic to dogs and dogs. A dog that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Dyckia brevifolia is non-toxic to cats as well. See the full dyckia brevifolia pet-safety guide for both species.
