Is Tiger Lily Toxic to Dogs?
Yes — Tiger Lily is mildly toxic to dogs
Tiger Lilies are among the most dangerous plants for cats. Every part is toxic — including pollen. A cat brushing against a Tiger Lily and grooming the pollen off their fur has died from kidney failure. Never keep true lilies in a home with cats.
Symptoms in Dogs
If your dog eats Tiger 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. Any exposure — even pollen on fur that is groomed off — can cause fatal kidney failure. Immediate IV fluids needed within 18 hours. DOGS: Mild GI upset only.
This is a veterinary emergency for dogs. Call your vet or ASPCA Poison Control (888) 426-4435 immediately.
