Agastache 'Kudos Coral'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly.

This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Agastache is not individually listed on the ASPCA Toxic/Non-Toxic Plants database, so its status is uncertain; treat with caution and verify with a vet. As an aromatic member of the mint family (Lamiaceae), large ingestions of the essential-oil-rich foliage may cause mild gastrointestinal upset (vomiting, diarrhoea) in cats and dogs.
