Is Aquilegia 'Nora Barlow' toxic to dogs?

Aquilegia vulgaris 'Nora Barlow'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists aquilegia 'nora barlow' 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. Aquilegia (columbine) is not individually listed by the ASPCA, so its pet status is not confirmed; treat with caution and verify with a vet. The plant contains cyanogenic glycosides, concentrated in seeds and roots, and ingestion may cause vomiting and gastrointestinal upset. Because a pet-safe label cannot be confirmed against ASPCA, keep pets from eating it.
