Orchid

Phalaenopsis sp.

Non-toxic to dogs and cats for Phalaenopsis orchids

The ASPCA lists Phalaenopsis orchid, also called moth orchid, as non-toxic to dogs and cats. PawPlants still recommends checking the exact plant name because orchid hybrids and plant treatments can vary.

Signs to watch for

The ASPCA listing identifies Phalaenopsis orchid as non-toxic to dogs and cats; ordinary stomach upset is still possible if a pet eats plant material.

What to do if your pet ate it

If your pet ate a large amount, ate treated plant material, or seems sick, contact your veterinarian.
