Is 'Tromboncino' Squash toxic to dogs?

Cucurbita moschata 'Tromboncino'

Non-toxic to dogs

No — 'tromboncino' squash 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. Cucurbita squashes are ASPCA-listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs (the ASPCA lists Zucchini, Acorn and Hubbard squash as non-toxic), and Tromboncino is a Cucurbita moschata. As with any plant, large amounts of foliage or fruit may cause mild stomach upset, and the rare bitter, cucurbitacin-laden fruit should not be eaten — discard any squash that tastes intensely bitter.
