Plant identity and scope

This record follows ASPCA's Clivia species scope. Clivia is not a true lily in the genus Lilium, so this page remains separate from PawPlants' governed lily records.

Governed aliases: Clivia.

What the evidence supports

The toxic result follows ASPCA's genus-level Clivia scope for both pets. The common word lily does not merge this record with Lilium or other lily-named plants.

Safety classifications come from PawPlants' governed evidence record, not from a retailer or product label.

If exposure may have occurred

Prevent further access, retain a label or clear photo, and contact a veterinarian or animal poison-control service promptly. Seek urgent care for weakness, tremors, collapse, abnormal heart rhythm, or seizures.
