Is Yellow Monanthes toxic to dogs?

Monanthes icterica

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists yellow monanthes 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. Monanthes icterica is not individually listed by the ASPCA. Within Crassulaceae, some genera (e.g. Kalanchoe, Crassula) contain compounds harmful to pets, while others (e.g. Echeveria, Sedum) are considered safe. No specific toxic principle has been documented for Monanthes, but out of caution keep away from pets and consult a vet if ingestion is suspected.

What to do if your dog ate yellow monanthes

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

General guidance, not veterinary advice. If you think your dog has eaten yellow monanthes, contact your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 — do not wait for symptoms to worsen.
