Is Rodriguezia lanceolata toxic to dogs?

Rodriguezia lanceolata

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists rodriguezia lanceolata 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. Rodriguezia lanceolata is not individually listed by the ASPCA. ASPCA-listed orchids such as Phalaenopsis are non-toxic to cats and dogs, but this genus is not confirmed on the ASPCA list, so treat with caution and verify with a vet rather than assuming it is pet-safe.

What to do if your dog ate rodriguezia lanceolata

  1. Remove any plant material from your dog's mouth and move rodriguezia lanceolata out of reach.
  2. Note how much was eaten and when, and watch for drooling, vomiting, or lethargy.
  3. Do not induce vomiting unless a vet or poison-control specialist instructs you to.
  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
  5. Bring a leaf or photo of rodriguezia lanceolata to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.

General guidance, not veterinary advice. If you think your dog has eaten rodriguezia lanceolata, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 — do not wait for symptoms to worsen.
