Is Trichoglottis brachiata toxic to dogs?

Trichoglottis brachiata

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists trichoglottis brachiata 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. Trichoglottis brachiata is not individually listed by the ASPCA. Although ASPCA-listed orchids like Phalaenopsis are non-toxic to cats and dogs, this genus is not confirmed on the ASPCA list, so treat it with caution and verify with a vet rather than assuming pet safety.

What to do if your dog ate trichoglottis brachiata

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