Is Lilium lancifolium toxic to dogs?

Yes — lilium lancifolium is toxic to dogs according to the ASPCA. Keep it well away from any dog that chews plants; reactions can be significant. ASPCA lists tiger lily (Lilium) as toxic to cats — cats are the only species known to be affected, but exposure is severe: even small amounts of petal, leaf, pollen or vase water can cause vomiting, inappetence, lethargy, acute kidney failure and death. Treat as a veterinary emergency for cats; ASPCA classifies it non-toxic to dogs and horses, though ingestion may still cause GI upset.

Treat as a veterinary emergency for cats; ASPCA classifies it non-toxic to dogs and horses, though ingestion may still cause GI upset. 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 lilium lancifolium.

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: Lilium lancifolium is toxic to cats as well. See the full lilium lancifolium pet-safety guide for both species.
