Is Jasmine (Pink Jasmine) toxic to dogs?

Jasminum polyanthum

Non-toxic to dogs

No — jasmine (pink jasmine) 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 does not list Jasminum polyanthum individually, but lists the genus "Jasmine" (Jasminum species, family Oleaceae) as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, with no toxic Jasminum members; verify with your vet if your pet ingests any plant. Note that several unrelated plants share the "jasmine" name and ARE toxic, including Carolina/Carolina yellow jasmine (Gelsemium sempervirens) and cape jasmine/gardenia (Gardenia jasminoides) — those are different genera, not true Jasminum.
