Is Ananas bracteatus toxic to dogs?
Ananas bracteatus
No — ananas bracteatus is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs. It is a sensible choice for a home with a dog; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Pet-safe by ASPCA grounding: the genus Ananas is represented on the ASPCA non-toxic list by Pineapple (Ananas comosus), and bromeliads contain no insoluble calcium oxalates or other toxic principle, so Ananas bracteatus is non-toxic to cats and dogs. The real danger is mechanical: the leaves are very strongly and sharply spined, posing a cut and ingestion-blockage risk, so keep pets and children clear of the foliage.
