? Poisonous Berries

Am hoping someone on DOL may be able to tell me if the berries our palm tree is dropping are poisonous to dogs.

The palm is an Archontophoenix alexandrae

(Northern Bangalow Palm) and has red (when ripened) berries size of a marble.

I have read that deer eat them but I can't find anything re dogs and I know that dogs can't have some things eg chocolate and macadamia nuts, things that say humans safely eat.

Anyone know bushtucker stuff out there?

Sorry I can't provide any info on whether they are safe to eat or not, however, I thought I'd share that our old dog used to love picking these berries up, putting them down on a patch of grass and rolling around on them. I think she liked giving herself a massage. :rainbowbridge:

I can't find much info but I did just find a website that says they are non toxic to animals. Will keep looking for dog specific info. :hug:

thankyou moosepup!

It has now been a day or so since the berries started dropping and I have noticed after playing with them initially, they seem to have lost interest...must not taste too good either. They are very hard little balls.

thanks for looking this up :)
