Is Slender Aubrieta toxic to dogs?

Aubrieta gracilis

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists slender aubrieta 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. Aubrieta gracilis is not listed on the ASPCA toxic or non-toxic plant database. It belongs to Brassicaceae (the cabbage family), which contains no documented toxic principle for this genus, but in the absence of a confirmed ASPCA non-toxic listing, a mildly-toxic precautionary classification is applied. Consult a vet if a pet ingests the plant.
