Is Hybrid trumpet vine toxic to dogs?

Campsis x tagliabuana

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists hybrid trumpet vine as mildly toxic to dogs — a chewing dog typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Campsis radicans (the parent species) is not individually listed as toxic by the ASPCA, but all parts of the plant — particularly the sap — can cause contact dermatitis and mild skin irritation in humans and animals. Ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset. Wear gloves when pruning.

What to do if your dog ate hybrid trumpet vine

  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of hybrid trumpet vine to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.
