Is Emerald Ripple Peperomia toxic to dogs?
Peperomia caperata
No — emerald ripple peperomia 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 Emerald Ripple Peperomia (Peperomia caperata, family Piperaceae) as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses, with its toxic principle recorded as "Non-toxic". This is a genuine pet-safe houseplant, not merely an unlisted assumption. As with any plant, a pet that gorges on the foliage may get mild, transient stomach upset simply from eating something it cannot digest, so it is still sensible to keep it away from determined chewers.
