Is Megaskepasma erythrochlamys toxic to dogs?

Megaskepasma erythrochlamys

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists megaskepasma erythrochlamys 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. Megaskepasma erythrochlamys is not individually listed by the ASPCA, and the genus does not appear on its toxic or non-toxic plant lists. With no authoritative ASPCA non-toxic confirmation, treat it as uncertain and potentially mildly toxic; keep it away from pets and consult a vet if any is eaten.
