The ASPCA lists true lilies (Lilium species) as non-toxic to dogs — the deadly kidney reaction is a cat problem. A dog that eats plant material can still vomit or get an upset stomach, and lilies are not food, so there is no reason to allow it.
Don't feed it. If your dog has already eaten some, call your vet or poison control with the amount and the timing and follow their advice.
Never induce vomiting and never give any medicine unless a vet tells you to — it can do more damage than the poison. What we will and won't tell you.
Can cats eat lilies? — Toxic for cats.
No — lilies should not be given to dogs. If yours has already eaten some, call your vet. The ASPCA lists true lilies (Lilium species) as non-toxic to dogs — the deadly kidney reaction is a cat problem.

Watch for: Vomiting and drooling; Loss of appetite and hiding; Lethargy; Urinating more, then not at all — kidney failure can set in within 24–72 hours. Some signs lag by a day — call, don't wait.
The safe amount is none, as an occasional treat rather than a daily habit. Large amounts mainly cause stomach upset; if that doesn't settle within a day, call your vet.
