This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Mizuna (Brassica rapa) is not listed on the ASPCA toxic-plant list and falls within the cruciferous vegetables the ASPCA considers safe for dogs and cats in moderation. Its mustard-family compounds can irritate the gut and large amounts cause gas, so feed only small, occasional portions.
