Why Barbados Pride is dangerous
ASPCA lists Barbados Pride among plants that can be toxic to dogs. Plant species, plant part, amount, and the dog's symptoms all matter, so keep a sample or clear photo for identification.

Identify the exact plant
Common names overlap. A photo of the whole plant, leaf, flower, berry, label, and any fallen pieces gives a veterinarian or poison specialist more useful information than a common name alone.
Check the pot too
Fertilizer, insecticide, pesticide, decorative stones, and standing water are separate hazards even when the plant itself is not toxic.
Signs to watch for
Drooling, mouth pain, vomiting, diarrhea, lethargy, weakness, tremors, or breathing trouble depending on the plant
Related items
Check the exact item or ingredient before assuming two similar exposures carry the same risk.
What to do next
Take a clear photo of the plant and label, remove access, note the amount and time, and contact a veterinarian or animal poison control for symptoms or uncertainty.
