Is Escarole 'Batavian Full Heart' toxic to dogs?

Cichorium endivia var. latifolium 'Batavian Full Heart'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists escarole 'batavian full heart' 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. Cichorium endivia is not individually listed in the ASPCA toxic/non-toxic plant database, so a confirmed pet-safe label cannot be assigned. As with most leafy greens, eating the foliage may cause mild gastrointestinal upset in cats and dogs. Treat with caution and verify with a vet before allowing access.
