Is Stone Pine toxic to dogs?

Pinus pinea

Non-toxic to dogs

No — stone pine 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. Pinus pinea is not listed on the ASPCA toxic plant database, and Pinus species are not on the ASPCA toxic list for cats and dogs. The pine nuts are edible and not toxic to pets, though, as with any fatty nut or pine needles/bark, large quantities can cause GI upset; needles and sap may mildly irritate. (Note: this differs from sago 'palm' Cycas, which is severely toxic.)
