Quick answer

ASPCA lists Primula vulgaris as toxic to cats and dogs and reports mild vomiting as a possible sign after ingestion.

Plant identity and scope

This record is limited to Primula vulgaris. Primrose is a shared common-name element, so the conclusion must not be transferred to another species without matching evidence.

Governed aliases: English Primrose.

What the evidence supports

The toxic result comes from an exact-species ASPCA record covering cats and dogs. The conclusion is not generalized to every plant called primrose.

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 for case-specific advice. Do not induce vomiting unless a veterinary professional directs it.
