Which types of jasmine are toxic to dogs? And which parts of the plant are toxic?

This website http://www.petfriendlyhouse.com/informat... lists some types of jasmine as non-toxic to dogs, while this website http://www.dcn.davis.ca.us/vme/DrSue/poi... lists all jasmine as potentially toxic (and fatal, as I understand it). Does anyone know which jasmine plants are actually toxic and which are non-toxic? And which parts the toxic varieties are poisonous? (Leaves? Stems? Flowers? Seeds or berries? All parts?) My neighbors have a large jasmine vine on their fence, and I want to know how worried I should be for the safety of my dog. I live in Houston, and this is a picture or the plant: http://www.flickr.com/photos/7372796@N07... . Any chance anyone knows what type of jasmine it is?

It's true that some types are dangerous and others aren't. Unfortunately I can't tell from the picture.





You should repost this question in the plants section instead of the dog section so someone who knows more about Jasmine can help you out.





To be safe, I'd keep my dog away from my neighbor's Jasmine if I were you.
