Pilea spruceana 'Silver Tree'

Non-toxic to dogs

No — pilea 'silver tree' (pilea spruceana 'silver tree') 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 spruceana is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the genus is clean: the ASPCA lists several Pilea species (Pilea microphylla, creeping pilea/Pilea nummulariifolia, watermelon pilea/Pilea cadierei and Pilea mucosa) as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses, 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 you are concerned.
