Is Terap toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists terap 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. Artocarpus is not individually listed by ASPCA. The milky latex produced by the bark and unripe fruit (characteristic of Moraceae) can cause skin irritation and mild gastrointestinal upset if ingested by pets or humans. Ripe fruit pulp is consumed by people and is generally regarded as safe, but latex contact should be avoided. Exercise caution with pets and children.

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 terap.

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.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Terap is mildly toxic to cats as well. See the full terap pet-safety guide for both species.
