Asiatic lilies are Lilium hybrids, so they carry the cat-specific kidney toxicity and nothing worse than stomach upset for dogs. Because they are a bouquet staple, most dog exposures happen indoors from a vase.

Why Asiatic Lily needs caution
Asiatic lilies are Lilium hybrids, the same genus behind fatal kidney failure in cats, and the same genus dogs tolerate with nothing worse than a sore stomach. Because they are a supermarket-bouquet staple, exposure usually happens indoors from a vase rather than out in the garden.
Signs to watch for
Vomiting, drooling, loose stool, chewed petals or leaves, reduced appetite
What to do next
Move the bouquet out of reach, count what is missing, and monitor for a day, checking first whether a cat could also have reached the vase.
Garden lily warnings miss where most incidents actually happen: a cut arrangement on a table.
1. Bouquet water counts as exposure
Cut lilies shed pollen and leach plant material into their water, and pets drink from vases. For a dog that means a mild stomach at worst. For a cat, vase water from a true-lily arrangement is treated as a genuine nephrotoxic exposure, so the bouquet is the problem, not just the flower heads.

FAQ
How much Asiatic Lily is dangerous?
No dog-toxic threshold is established for kidney injury; a few leaves or petals mean mild upset at worst. Vase water and pollen are the cat emergency, not the dog one.
Can I treat this at home?
For dogs, generally yes: remove the plant, offer water, watch.
When should I call the vet?
Vomiting beyond 24 hours, a very small dog with a large ingestion, or any cat exposure at all.
