Is Annual Seablite toxic to dogs?

Suaeda maritima

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists annual seablite 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. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Suaeda maritima is not listed on the ASPCA Toxic Plant database. It is consumed by humans as a wild vegetable, but its exceptionally high sodium content poses a risk of salt toxicity in cats and dogs if eaten in quantity. Classified as mildly toxic as a precaution; seek veterinary advice if a pet ingests a significant amount.

  4. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice.
