Is Hoya Carnosa Tricolor toxic to dogs?

Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor'

Non-toxic to dogs

No — hoya carnosa tricolor 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 Hoya carnosa (as "Wax Plant") as non-toxic to both cats and dogs, and 'Tricolor' is a cultivar of that same species. The Hoya genus is clean on the ASPCA database (Hoya carnosa and Hoya kerrii both non-toxic, with no toxic members listed), so it is considered pet-safe; as always, discourage nibbling and verify with your vet if a pet ingests a large amount.
