Pseudolithos migiurtinus

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists pseudolithos migiurtinus 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. Pseudolithos is not individually listed by the ASPCA, so its status is uncertain; treat with caution and verify with a vet. As a milkweed-family (Apocynaceae) succulent its sap may be mildly irritating, and it should not be asserted as pet-safe without an ASPCA listing. Keep this rare plant well out of pets' reach.
