Is Indonesian Bay Laurel toxic to dogs?

Syzygium polyanthum

Non-toxic to dogs

No — indonesian bay laurel 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. Syzygium polyanthum leaves are widely consumed by humans as a culinary herb across Southeast Asia with no reported adverse effects. The species is not individually listed by ASPCA; however, based on its culinary use, absence of known toxic compounds, and its Myrtaceae family context (where most edible-leaved members present no pet toxicity), it is considered low-risk. As always, contact your vet if a pet ingests large quantities.
