This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Dyckia platyphylla is not individually listed by the ASPCA. The Dyckia genus (subfamily Pitcairnioideae, family Bromeliaceae) is not documented as toxic to dogs or cats. The primary hazard is physical injury from the stiff, sharply serrated leaf spines rather than chemical toxicity.
