Is Schismatoglottis Prietoi toxic to dogs?

Yes — schismatoglottis prietoi is toxic to dogs according to the ASPCA. Keep it well away from any dog that chews plants; reactions can be significant. Schismatoglottis is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but it is a member of the Araceae (aroid) family and, like its relatives, contains insoluble calcium oxalate raphides. Treat it as toxic to cats and dogs: chewing can cause oral irritation, drooling, and vomiting. Keep away from pets and verify with a vet if ingestion occurs.

Treat it as toxic to cats and dogs: chewing can cause oral irritation, drooling, and vomiting. Keep away from pets and verify with a vet if ingestion occurs. 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 prietoi.

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.
