Is anouk french lavender poisonous to dogs?

Yes — the ASPCA lists Anouk French lavender (Lavandula stoechas 'Anouk') as mildly toxic to dogs. Lavandula stoechas is a lavender species, and ASPCA lists lavender as toxic to dogs and cats due to linalool and linalyl acetate content. L. stoechas has a higher concentration of camphor than L. angustifolia, raising concern particularly for cats. Ingestion of foliage or flowers may cause vomiting, nausea, and lethargy. Avoid letting pets chew on plants.
