Peruvian Lily

Peruvian Lily (Alstroemeria aurea) is considered non-toxic to cats. It is classified as generally safe, meaning it is not expected to cause poisoning or serious harm if your cat nibbles on it.

Ingesting small amounts is unlikely to cause any symptoms. If a cat eats a large quantity of the fibrous plant material, mild vomiting or diarrhea may occur due to digestive irritation, not toxicity.

Monitor your cat for signs of GI upset such as vomiting or diarrhea. A small nibble is not a medical emergency, but if your cat consumed a significant amount and symptoms persist or worsen, contact your veterinarian.

No — Peruvian Lily (Alstroemeria) is not a true lily and does not carry the severe kidney-toxic risk associated with Lilium or Hemerocallis species. Despite sharing the common name "lily," Alstroemeria is classified as non-toxic to cats.

Peruvian Lily (Alstroemeria aurea) is considered non-toxic to dogs. It is classified as generally safe, meaning it is not expected to cause serious harm if your dog chews on or ingests part of the plant.

Most dogs will show no symptoms at all. If a dog eats a large amount of the fibrous plant material, mild vomiting or diarrhea is possible due to the bulk of plant matter in the digestive tract, not from any toxic compounds.

For a small amount, no emergency action is needed — monitor your dog for any GI upset like vomiting or diarrhea. If your dog ate a large quantity and shows persistent or worsening symptoms, contact your veterinarian.

Yes — small nibbles are very unlikely to cause any issue, but consuming a significant amount of fibrous plant material can lead to mild, temporary digestive upset. Non-toxic does not mean harmless in unlimited quantities, so discourage your dog from eating the plant.
