Is Lemmaphyllum microphyllum toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists lemmaphyllum microphyllum 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. Lemmaphyllum microphyllum is not individually listed by the ASPCA, and the genus Lemmaphyllum does not appear on the ASPCA non-toxic list. Although true ferns are generally regarded as non-toxic, without explicit ASPCA grounding for this species or genus, treat with caution and verify with a vet; assume mild stomach upset is possible if eaten.

Lemmaphyllum microphyllum is not individually listed by the ASPCA, and the genus Lemmaphyllum does not appear on the ASPCA non-toxic list. Although true ferns are generally regarded as non-toxic, without explicit ASPCA grounding for this species or genus, treat with caution and verify with a vet; assume mild stomach upset is possible if eaten. Signs usually appear soon after chewing rather than hours later — watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy after your dog has had access to lemmaphyllum microphyllum.

Stay calm. Remove any plant from your dog's mouth and take the plant away. Note how much was eaten and when, and do not induce vomiting unless told to. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice; a leaf or photo helps the vet treat it correctly.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Lemmaphyllum microphyllum is mildly toxic to cats as well. See the full lemmaphyllum microphyllum pet-safety guide for both species.
