Is Halesia monticola toxic to dogs?

Halesia monticola

Non-toxic to dogs

No — halesia monticola 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. Halesia monticola is not individually itemised by the ASPCA, but the ASPCA lists the closely related Halesia carolina ('Silver Bell', family Styracaceae) as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses, so this silverbell is considered pet-safe on that genus basis. As with any plant, eating large amounts may cause mild stomach upset.
