Is Lavender trumpet vine toxic to dogs?

Clytostoma callistegioides

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists lavender 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. Clytostoma callistegioides seed pods are reported to be toxic; stems, leaves, and flowers are considered non-toxic in most horticultural sources. The plant is not individually listed on the ASPCA database. Remove seed pods as they develop if pets or children have access to the plant. As a Bignoniaceae member, standard precaution is advised. Contact a veterinarian if ingestion of seeds is suspected.
