Is Celosia (cockscomb) toxic to dogs?

Celosia argentea

Non-toxic to dogs

No — celosia (cockscomb) 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. The ASPCA lists Celosia (Celosia plumosa, family Amaranthaceae) as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses. As with any plant, nibbling on the foliage may still cause mild, temporary stomach upset, so discourage pets from grazing on it.
