There arelots of speciesthat may have bamboo in the name, but are not bamboo at all. For trueBambusoideae species of bamboo, it is non toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.

Fun fact:Foliage of bamboo can contain up to 22% protein, so it’s even good for them! Proteincontent varies from species to species and even varies depending on the age of the leaves. Foliage later in the season contains much more protein than newly grown.
