Is Cuban Cigar Calathea toxic to dogs?

Calathea lutea

Non-toxic to dogs

No — cuban cigar calathea 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. This classification follows the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. The ASPCA lists Calathea (Calathea spp., family Marantaceae) as non-toxic to dogs, cats and horses, and the related Calathea insignis (prayer plant) is also ASPCA non-toxic. Calathea lutea is not individually named on the ASPCA database, but it falls under the non-toxic Calathea genus listing (no Calathea species is listed as toxic); as always, verify with your vet and discourage chewing, since fibrous leaves can still cause mild stomach upset.
