Is Remusatia vivipara toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists remusatia vivipara 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. Not individually listed by the ASPCA, but Remusatia is a member of the Araceae (aroid) family and its tissues contain insoluble calcium oxalate raphides, the same irritant principle the ASPCA flags across aroids. Ingestion can cause oral burning, drooling and vomiting. Treat with caution, keep away from pets, and verify with a vet if chewing is suspected.

Ingestion can cause oral burning, drooling and vomiting. Treat with caution, keep away from pets, and verify with a vet if chewing is suspected. 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 remusatia vivipara.

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 in the US, or Animal PoisonLine on 01202 509 000 in the UK 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: Remusatia vivipara is mildly toxic to cats as well. See the full remusatia vivipara pet-safety guide for both species.
