Is Asiatic Lily Toxic to Dogs?

Yes — Asiatic Lily is mildly toxic to dogs

Asiatic Lilies are popular in bouquets and gardens. Like all true lilies (Lilium genus), they are fatally toxic to cats. The pollen is especially dangerous as cats can ingest it while grooming.

Symptoms in Dogs

If your dog eats Asiatic Lily, watch for these symptoms (onset: 6 to 12 hours):

  • Vomiting
  • Lethargy
  • Kidney failure (cats)
  • Loss of appetite
  • Death (cats)

What To Do

CATS: Veterinary emergency. All true Lilium species are equally fatal to cats. Immediate vet care required. DOGS: Mild GI upset only.

This is a veterinary emergency for dogs. Call your vet or ASPCA Poison Control (888) 426-4435 immediately.
