How we rate severity

Safe

Safe to share in small amounts — no known toxicity for this species. Always introduce new foods gradually.

Caution

May cause mild to moderate symptoms (GI upset, discomfort) or is safe only in specific forms/amounts. Limit or avoid.

Toxic

Can cause serious harm or death. Contact a veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline immediately if ingested.

Severity ratings are mapped from veterinary consensus across ASPCA Animal Poison Control, Pet Poison Helpline, and AVMA published guidelines. When sources disagree, we default to the more cautious rating. This is a reference tool, not a substitute for veterinary advice.

We do not rate portion sizes or individual pet sensitivities — always consult your vet for specific concerns.
