Hoya vitellinoides

Non-toxic to dogs

This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The genus Hoya is ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs (entries for Wax Plant and Sweetheart Hoya). No toxic principle is identified. As with any houseplant, ingesting large amounts may cause mild, transient stomach upset, and the milky sap can be slightly irritating, so casual nibbling is still best discouraged.
