Is Actinidia kolomikta toxic to dogs?

Mildly. The ASPCA lists actinidia kolomikta as mildly toxic to dogs — a chewing dog typically gets mouth irritation, drooling, and vomiting rather than a medical emergency, but it is still best kept out of reach. Actinidia kolomikta is not individually listed in the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so a definitive pet-safe status cannot be confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. Note that, like silvervine (Actinidia polygama), Actinidia species can attract and intoxicate cats, who may chew and damage stems; large amounts of foliage or fruit may cause mild stomach upset.

Note that, like silvervine (Actinidia polygama), Actinidia species can attract and intoxicate cats, who may chew and damage stems; large amounts of foliage or fruit may cause mild stomach upset. Signs usually appear soon after chewing rather than hours later — watch for drooling, pawing at the mouth, vomiting, loss of appetite, or unusual lethargy after your dog has had access to actinidia kolomikta.

Stay calm. Remove any plant from your dog's mouth and take the plant away. Note how much was eaten and when, and do not induce vomiting unless told to. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice; a leaf or photo helps the vet treat it correctly.

The ASPCA classification Growli uses applies to both cats and dogs: Actinidia kolomikta is mildly toxic to cats as well. See the full actinidia kolomikta pet-safety guide for both species.
