Is Herald Trumpet Vine toxic to dogs?

Beaumontia grandiflora

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists herald trumpet vine 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. Beaumontia grandiflora belongs to the Apocynaceae (dogbane) family. While not individually listed by the ASPCA, many Apocynaceae members produce irritant latex and toxic alkaloids. Treat as mildly toxic; prevent pets and children from ingesting any part of the plant and wear gloves when pruning to avoid contact with the milky sap.
