Is jade plant toxic to dogs or cats?
Also known as: Crassula, money plant
Vomiting and incoordination; the mechanism is not well understood.
Same signs in cats: vomiting, wobbliness.
Jade plants reliably cause vomiting and sometimes a drunken wobble in pets, even though the exact toxin has never been identified. Most cases resolve with supportive care. A wobbly pet always deserves a vet call to rule out worse causes.
Signs to watch for
- Vomiting
- Incoordination
- Lethargy
