Is Eranthemum pulchellum toxic to dogs?

Eranthemum pulchellum

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists eranthemum pulchellum as mildly toxic to dogs — a chewing dog typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Eranthemum pulchellum is not individually listed by the ASPCA, and there is no established ASPCA genus ruling for Eranthemum. Without an authoritative safe listing, treat it as uncertain rather than pet-safe; ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset. Verify with a vet before assuming it is safe around cats and dogs.

What to do if your dog ate eranthemum pulchellum

  1. Remove any plant material from your dog's mouth and move eranthemum pulchellum out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.
  3. Do not induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist instructs you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of eranthemum pulchellum to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.

General guidance, not veterinary advice. If you think your dog has eaten eranthemum pulchellum, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 — do not wait for symptoms to worsen.
