Is Graptoveria 'Silver Star' toxic to dogs?
Graptoveria 'Silver Star'
Mildly. The ASPCA lists graptoveria 'silver star' 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. Graptoveria (a Graptopetalum x Echeveria cross) is not individually listed by the ASPCA; treat with caution and verify with a vet. Its Echeveria parent is ASPCA-listed non-toxic and the hybrid is widely treated as pet-safe, but absent a direct ASPCA listing we do not assert safe. Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
