Is Graptopetalum macdougallii toxic to dogs?

Graptopetalum macdougallii

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists graptopetalum macdougallii 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. Graptopetalum is not individually listed by the ASPCA; treat with caution and verify with a vet. It belongs to the broadly non-toxic Crassulaceae family with Echeveria and is generally considered pet-safe by horticultural sources, but absent a direct ASPCA listing we do not assert safe. Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
