Is Split Rock toxic to dogs?

No — split rock 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. Pleiospilos nelii is not individually listed in the ASPCA toxic and non-toxic plant database, but its genus member Pleiospilos bolusii (Living Rock Cactus, family Aizoaceae) is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses, with no Pleiospilos species flagged as toxic. It is therefore considered pet-safe; still discourage chewing and verify with your vet if a pet ingests any.
