Is Pink Calla Lily toxic to dogs?

Zantedeschia rehmannii

Toxic to dogs

Yes — pink calla lily is toxic to dogs according to the ASPCA. Keep it well away from any dog that chews plants; reactions can be significant. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Zantedeschia rehmannii, like all calla lilies, belongs to Araceae and contains calcium oxalate raphides and possibly other irritants throughout its tissues. Ingestion causes oral pain, swelling, excessive drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing in cats and dogs. ASPCA lists Zantedeschia (calla lily) as toxic to cats and dogs. Note: true Lilium lilies are life-threatening to cats — while callas share the common name 'lily', they are a different family and mechanism, but still must be kept away from pets.
