Pleurothallis truncata

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists pleurothallis truncata 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. Pleurothallis truncata is not individually listed by the ASPCA, and Pleurothallis is not among the orchids the ASPCA names as non-toxic. Treat with caution and verify with a vet; ingestion may cause mild gastrointestinal upset.
