FAQ
What does this primrose verdict cover?
Primula vulgaris. The ASPCA's Primrose entry and Pet Poison Helpline's Primrose entry both give the scientific name "Primula vulgaris". This page follows that species-level scope; it does not extend the verdict to the entire Primula genus or every plant called primrose. Check the full scientific name on the tag before applying this verdict. We do not grade plants outside the checked sources' stated scope.
Is Cape Primrose covered by this primrose verdict?
No. The ASPCA's Cape Primrose entry names "Streptocarpus spp." and reads "Non-Toxic to Dogs, Non-Toxic to Cats, Non-Toxic to Horses". It names a different genus from Primula, so it is outside this page's verdict and we do not grade it here. Check the scientific name on the tag rather than relying on the shared common name.
