Plant identity
Pet safety guide
Scientific identity: Sinningia speciosa
Also called: Brazilian Gloxinia, Gloxinia, Violet Slipper Gloxinia
This governed page covers Sinningia speciosa; it is not a generic Gloxinia-genus profile.
Safety for cats and dogs
For cats and dogs: Florist's Gloxinia is listed as non-toxic within the governed species identity on this page.
Non-toxic does not mean edible or guaranteed symptom-free. Chewing plant material can still cause nonspecific stomach upset, and fertilizer, pesticide, mold, decorative materials, or potting media are separate exposure concerns.
What can happen
If a pet has persistent symptoms or a concerning exposure, contact a veterinarian or animal poison-control service for case-specific advice.
Identity clarification
Gloxinia speciosa is retained as a scientific synonym of Sinningia speciosa, not as a separate identity.
