Is sansevieria trifasciata poisonous?

Yes, Sansevieria trifasciata or otherwise known as Snake plant, Mother-in-law's tongue, and Saint George's sword is poisonous to dogs and cats, and mildly to humans. The leaves and flowers of Sansevieria trifasciata contain saponins, which the plant produces to protect itself from predation by microbes, fungi, and insects. The plants overall toxicity is relatively low. A dog's gastrointestinal reaction may be mild to moderate, but probably wont cross the line into life threatening toxicosis. The saponins have very bitter taste, which will likely convince the pet to look elsewhere for tastier snacking before he consumes enough to do real damage. The poison found in the plant can cause the tongue and throat to swell and be numb. It can also cause irritation of the mouth, lips, and tongue; excessive drooling; vomiting; and difficulty in swallowing. In severe cases there may be distress in the digestive tract. .
