Common questions

My dog ate a whole Haworthia pot — what now?

No toxin is involved. Offer water and watch for simple vomiting from plant bulk and soil; call the vet only if it persists or the dog ate fertilizer pellets or soil additives.

Which succulents look like Haworthia but are toxic?

True aloe (mild GI toxicity) and Euphorbias (irritating sap) are the two look-alike traps. If a succulent oozes white latex when a leaf snaps, keep pets away and confirm its identity.
