Pyracantha berries are edible, so you can eat them. I heard people make jelly out of them.

Although Pyracantha or Fire Thorn has thorns that can cause a rash, Philadelphia Children's Hospital reports that they are not toxic unless eaten "...in large quantities." You should be reasonably safe on this one, barring Allergies. See links.

I recently called Poison Control after finding a chewed up laurel berry in an 18-month old baby's mouth. They said that 1 or 2 are probably nothing to worry about, but may cause tingling or numbness around the mouth or an upset stomach. They said to give her something to drink, continue to watch her, and call back if anything changes. I don't know about the toxicity of large quantities of laurel berries, but when in doubt, call Poison Control!

Are Pyracantha berries poisonous if eaten by a dog?

Whilst Pyracantha (or Firethorn) berries are a welcome dietary supplement for birds, they are a cyanide producer and are unsuitable for cats and dogs. They can produce mild to moderate gastrointestinal upset, whilst a build up of cyanide in the intestinal tract, over time, can lead to more serious complications. Whilst you enjoy watching your dogs eat Pyracantha berries like Bambi, you are allowing them to slowly poison themselves.
