Maple keys- I've never heard that name for them. We call them whirlybirds or whirlygigs or helicopters. This seemed a particularly bountiful year for them here, no matter the name. I don't think my dogs ate them intentionally.
Fitzi has been occasionally Dysoning maple keys that have floated onto the deck. Only the maple keys, no young leaves, other flower or seed heads.

Sunnie has what I call "helicopter tail"...now I have to wonder if she ate these when she was running loose.
Kidding.
I wouldn't let her eat too many. They aren't considered toxic but could cause distress or, if enough, probably blockage.

smartrock, I also never knew what they were called. Not too many maples in Texas . . .
SunDance, I have been saying 'Leave it' when I catch Fitzi (and he does). He seems to be less interested in the last day or two.
Thank you for the links Snowshoe! It's a Silver Maple; we have a big one in the front yard.

Katie has a liking for them too. Her favorite of all is dandelions though. The other day decided to try the straight vinegar spray treatment on them to get rid of at least a few. Turned around and Katie had the funniest face; she munched on one I just sprayed. Guess she does not like dressing on her salad.

I was going to post to ask about these as Ovie has been eating them this past week. Georgia and Cooper never bothered with them but he eats a couple every time we are out. I have also caught him eating dandelions as well.
