Is Sarcochilus hartmannii toxic to dogs?
Sarcochilus hartmannii
No — sarcochilus hartmannii is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs. It is a sensible choice for a home with a dog; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Sarcochilus is not listed among the ASPCA's toxic plants, and ornamental orchids are broadly considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. No toxic principle is known. The common name Rock Lily is misleading: it is an orchid, not a true lily, and carries none of the lily toxicity dangerous to cats.
