Is Hairy Peperomia toxic to dogs?

Peperomia hirsuta

Non-toxic to dogs

No — hairy peperomia 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 ASPCA lists multiple Peperomia species (including P. obtusifolia, P. caperata, P. argyreia, and P. prostrata) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, with no toxic principle recorded and no toxic member of the genus listed. Peperomia hirsuta is considered pet-safe on this consistent genus-wide pattern. As with any plant, a pet that ingests a large amount may experience mild, transient stomach upset from the plant bulk; discourage chewing and consult your vet if concerned.
