My dog licked a plate that had passion fruit curry sauce on it. Is that okay?

Short answer

Likely fine. A small taste of passion fruit pulp is generally safe for dogs. The real risk comes from the peel, which contains natural toxins, but sauces usually only use the pulp. Just watch for any vomiting or diarrhea over the next few hours. If those signs appear, give your regular vet a call.
