Is Eryngium 'Jade Frost' toxic to dogs?

Eryngium planum 'Jade Frost'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists eryngium 'jade frost' 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. Eryngium 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. It is not recorded as seriously toxic, and its spiny flower heads and stiff foliage discourage pets from chewing it.
