Is Encyclia cordigera toxic to dogs?

Encyclia cordigera

Non-toxic to dogs

No — encyclia cordigera 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. The genus Encyclia is ASPCA-grounded as non-toxic: the ASPCA individually lists the Florida Butterfly Orchid (Encyclia tampensis) as Non-Toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, in line with its non-toxic listing for orchids generally (Phalaenopsis Orchid). Encyclia cordigera has no known toxic principle and is regarded as pet-safe. Overeating any plant can cause mild gastrointestinal upset, and chemical residues on the leaves are a bigger risk than the tissue itself.
