Is Torenia fournieri 'Summer Wave Large Violet' toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists torenia fournieri 'summer wave large violet' 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. Torenia fournieri is not individually listed in the ASPCA's toxic or non-toxic plant database, so a definitive pet-safe status cannot be confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. There is no documented toxic principle, and any effect from ingestion is most likely mild, transient digestive upset.
