Is Munby's Rock Rose toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists munby's rock rose 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. Cistus munbyi is not listed on the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database. No toxic principle specific to this species has been confirmed in veterinary literature. As explicit non-toxic status cannot be verified, a precautionary mildly-toxic classification is applied; if pets ingest plant material, monitor for gastrointestinal upset and consult a vet.

As explicit non-toxic status cannot be verified, a precautionary mildly-toxic classification is applied; if pets ingest plant material, monitor for gastrointestinal upset and consult a vet. 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 munby's rock rose.

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: Munby's Rock Rose is mildly toxic to cats as well. See the full munby's rock rose pet-safety guide for both species.
