Is Rambai toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists rambai 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. Baccaurea motleyana (family Phyllanthaceae) is not listed by ASPCA. No documented toxic principles have been identified for this genus, and the fruit is widely consumed by humans across Southeast Asia. However, the species is not individually assessed by ASPCA and safety for pets cannot be confirmed. Prevent pets from consuming seeds or large quantities of fruit as a precaution.

Signs usually appear soon after chewing rather than hours later — watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy after your dog has had access to rambai.

Stay calm. Remove any plant from your dog's mouth and take the plant away. Note how much was eaten and when, and do not induce vomiting unless told to. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice; a leaf or photo helps the vet treat it correctly.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Rambai is mildly toxic to cats as well. See the full rambai pet-safety guide for both species.
