Is Persian Rosularia toxic to dogs?

Rosularia persica

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists persian rosularia 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. Rosularia is in the Crassulaceae family, which contains genera with documented bufadienolide cardiac glycosides. Rosularia is not individually listed by the ASPCA as toxic or non-toxic. Out of caution, treat as potentially mildly toxic to pets and keep out of reach of cats and dogs until genus-level confirmation is available.
