Is Pilea glauca 'Aquamarine' (Grey Baby Tears) toxic to dogs?
Pilea glauca
No — pilea glauca 'aquamarine' (grey baby tears) 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. Pilea glauca is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the genus is clean: ASPCA lists several Pilea species (Pilea microphylla, Pilea mucosa, creeping Pilea/Pilea nummulariifolia and watermelon Pilea/Pilea cadierei) as non-toxic to dogs and cats, with no Pilea listed as toxic, and it belongs to the non-irritant family Urticaceae. It is therefore treated as pet-safe; as with any plant, nibbling may still cause mild stomach upset, so verify with your vet if concerned.
