Toxic to pets
Yucca is a skin allergen: handling the leaves can give some people a rash, and the stiff leaf tips can also jab skin and eyes, so wear gloves and protect your eyes. Dogs and cats that eat any part can vomit and get an upset stomach. For a skin reaction get medical advice; if a pet eats the plant, ring your vet.
