Over the past 45 years or so I've had sagos in practically every yard of every home I've owned, and have always had at least one dog, indoor & outdoor, large & small, several different breeds, and cats too. I've never had any pet poisoned by any plants in my landscapes, and I've had plants way, way more toxic than a sago.

Bottom line: if you have a dog that is apt to gnaw & chew on anything & everything, then you might not want a sago around. Otherwise, I wouldn't be concerned. A dog that might occasionally chew on some grass isn't going to bother with the stiff, spiny leaflets on a sago.
