Is Monarda Croftway Pink toxic to dogs?

Monarda didyma 'Croftway Pink'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists monarda croftway pink 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. Monarda (bee balm) is not individually listed by the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants database, so a definitive pet-safe rating cannot be given; treat with caution and verify with a vet. Ingesting large quantities of the aromatic foliage could cause mild stomach upset in cats or dogs.
