Plant safety record

Haworthia

Haworthia spp.

This is the governed genus-level Haworthia record, covering Haworthia spp. rather than one photographed specimen. The cited ASPCA evidence classifies that scope as non-toxic to cats and dogs; names such as Zebra Plant and Pearl Plant remain aliases, not separate identities.

Cats

NON-TOXIC

The ASPCA evidence used for this record lists Haworthia species as non-toxic to cats. PawPlants keeps that genus-level scope rather than narrowing it to the photographed species.

Dogs

NON-TOXIC

The ASPCA evidence used for this record lists Haworthia species as non-toxic to dogs. PawPlants keeps that genus-level scope rather than narrowing it to the photographed species.

Quick answer

Haworthia spp. is listed as non-toxic for cats and dogs in the evidence used here. The conclusion is genus-level, but it is not an edible-plant guarantee and should not be transferred to a different plant that shares an alias.

Plant identity

Scientific identity: Haworthia spp.

Identity level: genus

Also called: Zebra Haworthia, Zebra Plant, Pearl Plant

Safety for cats and dogs

For cats and dogs: Haworthia is classified as non-toxic within this governed scope. Non-toxic does not mean edible; swallowed plant material can still cause nonspecific gastrointestinal upset.

What can happen

Possible signs: eating plant material can still cause nonspecific stomach upset.

If ingestion is suspected, remove access to the plant and contact a veterinarian or animal poison-control service for case-specific advice.

Identity clarification

The classification follows the genus-level Haworthia scope in the cited evidence. The page image is representative and does not redefine the governed entity; shared colloquial names should still be checked against the scientific identity.
