Is Uvaia toxic to dogs?

Eugenia pyriformis

Non-toxic to dogs

No — uvaia 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. Eugenia pyriformis fruit is consumed by humans in Brazil and widely used for commercially sold juice. No toxic principles are documented for this species in the botanical or veterinary literature (PFAF 'none known'). ASPCA does not individually list Eugenia pyriformis. Based on the absence of known toxic compounds and its established use as a food plant, it is considered low-risk for pets, though contact a vet if a pet ingests substantial quantities.
