Is Weasel Stomatium toxic to dogs?

Stomatium mustellinum

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists weasel stomatium 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. Stomatium mustellinum is not individually listed by the ASPCA. No confirmed toxicology data exists for this genus; it is rated mildly-toxic as a conservative precaution. Keep away from pets and children.

What to do if your dog ate weasel stomatium

  1. Remove any plant material from your dog's mouth and move weasel stomatium 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 weasel stomatium to the appointment so it can be treated correctly.
