Hoya carnosa × serpens 'Mathilde'

Non-toxic to dogs

No — hoya 'mathilde' 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 'Mathilde' is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the genus is clean: ASPCA lists Hoya carnosa (wax plant) and Hoya kerrii (sweetheart hoya) as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, with no Hoya species listed as toxic. It is therefore considered pet-safe, though nibbling any plant can cause mild stomach upset, and the milky latex sap may irritate latex-sensitive people. Verify with your vet if your pet has eaten any.
