Short answer
No, a tiny accidental lick of watercress is perfectly safe for your dog. This leafy green is non-toxic to dogs and can even be given as an occasional small treat. There's no need to panic or rush to the vet for a single, small taste. Just keep an eye on your dog for the rest of the evening, but you can expect no reaction from such a minimal amount.
