Is Calathea 'Flamestar' toxic to dogs?

No — calathea 'flamestar' is listed by the ASPCA as non-toxic to dogs. It is a sensible choice for a home with a dog; a curious nibble will not poison them, though no plant is meant to be eaten. The ASPCA lists Calathea (Calathea spp., family Marantaceae) as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses, and 'Flamestar' (Goeppertia veitchiana, a renamed Calathea) is not an aroid so contains no calcium oxalates. The exact cultivar is not individually listed; the genus entry covers it and no Calathea is listed as toxic, but if a pet eats a large amount, mild self-limiting stomach upset is possible, so verify with your vet if concerned.

Yes — the ASPCA lists calathea 'flamestar' as non-toxic to dogs and dogs. A dog that chews a large amount of any foliage can still get a mild, brief stomach upset, so discourage grazing, but it will not be poisoned.
