Is Freesia toxic to dogs?

Freesia spp. (incl. Freesia corymbosa, Freesia × hybrida)

Non-toxic to dogs

No — freesia 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. Freesia is not listed in the ASPCA's formal toxic/non-toxic plant database, but ASPCA editorial guidance explicitly names freesia (Freesia corymbosa) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, noting only the potential for an upset stomach if eaten. As with any plant, chewing the foliage or corms can cause mild gastrointestinal signs such as vomiting or drooling in cats and dogs, so it is best kept out of reach. Because freesia is not on the ASPCA's species-specific list, confirm with your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (888-426-4435) if your pet ingests a significant amount, particularly the corms.
