Is Hoya macrophylla toxic to dogs?
Hoya macrophylla
No — hoya macrophylla 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 macrophylla is not individually listed in the ASPCA toxic/non-toxic plant database, but the Hoya genus is treated as clean: ASPCA lists Hoya kerrii (Sweetheart Hoya) and Hoya carnosa (Wax Plant) as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses, with no Hoya listed as toxic. It is considered pet-safe; as with any plant, ingestion can still cause mild stomach upset, so verify with your vet if your pet has sensitivities.
