Is Pink Trumpet Vine toxic to dogs?

Podranea ricasoliana

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists pink trumpet vine 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. Podranea ricasoliana (Bignoniaceae) is not individually listed by ASPCA. No well-documented systemic toxic principle has been identified, but the family includes species with irritant compounds. Ingestion of foliage or seed pods by pets or children is not recommended. Treat as mildly toxic until an individual ASPCA assessment is available.

  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
