Is Dyckia fosteriana toxic to dogs?

Dyckia fosteriana

Non-toxic to dogs

No — dyckia fosteriana 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. Dyckia fosteriana belongs to the bromeliad family (Bromeliaceae). The genus is not individually listed by the ASPCA, 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 actual hazard is mechanical: the sharp recurved leaf teeth can cut, so position it out of reach of pets and children.
