Are pine trees/pine needles harmful to yorkshire terriers?

My yorkie puppy always loves to run around outside. There's a pine tree outside and she loves to run behind it and then she gets sap and pine needles in her fur. We recently blocked it off because it was a hassle trying to get the gunk out of her fur, but is it also harmful?

If she eats it, they can cause intestinal problems. Grooming is a real pain. Try some Goo Gone.
Reply:Only if they eat it
Reply:No its not harmful just a pain in the butt to get out of their fur after. Pinecones can be harmful if eaten because of the sharp pieces that can perforate the intestinebut the needles and sap on the dogs fur wont hurt them its just messy and annoying.
Reply:If they would eat them it could do internal damage..especially in a delicate small breed..Rake them up...!
