Is Pansy Orchid toxic to dogs?

Miltoniopsis spp.

Non-toxic to dogs

No — pansy orchid is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs. It is a sensible choice for a home with a dog; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The ASPCA individually lists the pansy orchid (scientific name Miltonia roezlii alba, a synonym for Miltoniopsis roezlii, family Orchidaceae) as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses. As with any non-toxic plant, nibbling foliage may still cause mild stomach upset, so discourage chewing and rinse any pesticide residues; if a pet eats a large amount, check with your vet.
