Is Hazel Smith Sequoia toxic to dogs?

Sequoiadendron giganteum 'Hazel Smith'

Mildly toxic to dogs

Mildly.

This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Sequoiadendron giganteum is not listed by the ASPCA as toxic to cats or dogs. As with other large conifers, foliage ingestion in significant quantities could cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort; treat as low-risk.
