Is Parker's jasmine toxic to dogs?

Jasminum parkeri

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly. The ASPCA lists parker's jasmine 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. Jasminum parkeri is not individually listed by ASPCA. The genus Jasminum has not been confirmed as ASPCA non-toxic, and isolated reports suggest mild gastrointestinal irritation in pets following ingestion of plant material. The plant is not from a highly toxic family, but treat with caution and keep away from pets that are prone to chewing plants.
