Is Dyckia velascana toxic to dogs?

No — dyckia velascana 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 velascana is a terrestrial bromeliad (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 has no known toxic principle. The genuine hazard is mechanical injury from the sharp marginal teeth, so keep it away from pets and children.

Yes — the ASPCA lists dyckia velascana 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.
