Is Pineapple Sage toxic to dogs?

Salvia elegans

Non-toxic to dogs

No — pineapple sage 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. Salvia elegans is not individually listed by the ASPCA, but the culinary and ornamental Salvias the ASPCA does assess — Salvia officinalis (sage) and Salvia coccinea (scarlet sage) — are listed as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, so this pineapple-scented relative is treated as pet-safe. As with any plant, large amounts may cause mild GI upset, and concentrated essential oils should be kept away from cats.
