Is Clematis toxic to cat?

All parts of clematis contain an irritant glycoside which makes the plant mildly poisonous to cats. The first symptoms of poisoning include vomiting, diarrhea, and excessive drooling. Due to its unpleasant taste, cats won't usually eat clematis in large quantities, but it's best to contact a veterinarian to be sure.

Is Clematis toxic to dog?

Clematis species are mildly to moderately toxic to dogs. All parts of most clematis plants contain a strong irritant that, if eaten, causes excessive salivation and loss of appetite. This may progress to vomiting or diarrhea. More severe symptoms are possible but very rare, as these plants tend to be extremely distasteful to dogs, and so it's not often eaten in large quantities. Seek veterinary attention if your dog is experiencing the stronger symptoms.
