Is Schismatoglottis Calyptrata toxic to dogs?

Yes — schismatoglottis calyptrata is toxic to dogs according to the ASPCA. Keep it well away from any dog that chews plants; reactions can be significant. Schismatoglottis belongs to the Araceae (aroid) family, classified by the ASPCA as toxic owing to insoluble calcium oxalate raphides. Although not individually listed, as an aroid it should be treated as toxic; ingestion causes intense oral irritation, drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing in cats and dogs.

Schismatoglottis belongs to the Araceae (aroid) family, classified by the ASPCA as toxic owing to insoluble calcium oxalate raphides. Although not individually listed, as an aroid it should be treated as toxic; ingestion causes intense oral irritation, drooling, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing in cats and dogs. 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 schismatoglottis calyptrata.

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.
