Two dogs here - 12 yr old terrier type and a 9yr old Labrador and 2 cats. We have all of the above except laburnum and oleander as I dislike them. So far, no bother from plants.
Vendée - 20kms from Atlantic coast.

Mine is a numpty sadly. Caught him chewing some ornamental grasses just this morning. It was one with pretty sharp leaves so can't have been that tasty!
Yikes.... over the years our assortment of animals have been exposed to most of that list!.. only think that ever seems to make them sick is insisting on eating the leaves of my poor indoor pot plants. Not good for the plants or the stupid cat wo finds them so fascinating.... whole load of outdoor stuff that they only use to shade under.
Marne la vallée, basically just outside Paris 🇫🇷, but definitely Scottish at heart.
ornamental grasses seem much more interesting than normal grass, even when we leave some long. Out on walkies in the lanes here they chew all sorts of stuff I don't recognise. Far more wildflowers here than round our last home.

My two dogs never ate any of the garden plants or even touched them for that matter. I now have two English Bulldogs and oh my goodness they eat everything in the garden! They especially love Verbena and Iris Sibirica leaves? Boris the youngest keeps gnawing on the Ceonothus so I have to keep clipping it back. thankfully the lawned are of the garden with the main flower beds can be screened off from them as I wouldn't have any garden left! and as for growing veggies last year - Belle the old girl tried to eat all of it - tomatoes, strawberries, courgettes, cucumber etc. I remember before I had the Bullies, thinking 'What dogs eat plants?' Now its happening to me!!🤪
