trumpet vine bad for the dogs?

[whosoever]

I'm interested in getting a trumpet vine to attract humming birds, but was told that it might be poisonous (not to hummingbirds, but to the dogs). anyway, is it?

If it is the same as the Angel Trumpet....Then I know that it is very poisonous to humans ! As far as the vine, I know it attracts hummingbirds. Strange enough it is on the "poisonous list for birds (in general).

I found this on a doggie safe garden page:

I guess that means no trumpet vine. nowhere to plant it where the dogs can't get it iether.

Trumpet vine attracts ants too
My chihuahuas have been biting the honey suckle vines. But they are bird safe.
