Is Square Leaf Hoya toxic to dogs?

Hoya rotundiflora

Non-toxic to dogs

No — square leaf hoya 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 rotundiflora is not individually listed in the ASPCA toxic/non-toxic plant database, but the genus is ASPCA-clean: Hoya kerrii (Sweetheart Hoya), Hoya carnosa, and Hoya australis are all listed as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, with no Hoya species listed as toxic. It is therefore considered pet-safe; as always, confirm with your vet, and note that nibbling any plant can cause mild stomach upset.
