Is Unequal-Leaf Gibbaeum toxic to dogs?
Gibbaeum dispar
No — unequal-leaf gibbaeum is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs. It is a sensible choice for a home with a dog; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Gibbaeum dispar is not individually listed by the ASPCA. However, closely related Aizoaceae genera (including Lithops, Dinteranthus, and Pleiospilos) are listed as non-toxic, and no toxic principle has been documented for Gibbaeum. Treat with caution nonetheless and consult a vet if a pet ingests any part of the plant.
