Is Diversifolia Wax Plant toxic to dogs?

Hoya diversifolia

Non-toxic to dogs

No — diversifolia wax plant 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. Hoya diversifolia is not individually listed in the ASPCA database, but the Hoya genus is clean: the ASPCA lists Wax Plant (Hoya carnosa) and Sweetheart Hoya (Hoya kerrii) as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, with no Hoya species listed as toxic. It is therefore considered pet-safe; as always, verify with your vet and discourage pets from chewing foliage, since any plant matter can cause mild stomach upset.
