Is heavenly bamboo toxic to dogs/cats/birds

The Nursery at Home Depot told me that Heavenly Bamboo was not toxic; the person said he had a degree in Horticulture and that the plants would not harm my animals. Is that correct; the internet seems to state that these plants will kill my animals. Please help.

Answer

Please see attached information from two reference books in our library on poisonous plants. Looks like one study indicated Nandina domestica may be toxic to puppies eating the berries.

Hope this helps.
