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. Stipa offneri is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the Stipa genus has no reported toxic principles to cats, dogs, or horses according to major poison control references. The physical hazard from sharp, penetrating awns at seed-set is the real concern for pets — mechanical injury, not chemical toxicity.
