Is Winged Peperomia toxic to dogs?

Peperomia alata

Non-toxic to dogs

No — winged peperomia 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. The ASPCA lists several Peperomia species (including P. obtusifolia, P. caperata, and P. argyreia) as non-toxic to cats and dogs, with no toxic principle identified and no toxic member of the genus on record. Peperomia alata is considered pet-safe on this consistent genus-wide basis. A pet that eats a large quantity of any houseplant may experience mild, transient stomach upset; if concerned, consult your vet.
