Is Network Calathea (Calathea Musaica) toxic to dogs?

Goeppertia kegeljanii 'Network'

Non-toxic to dogs

No — network calathea (calathea musaica) 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; Goeppertia is the updated botanical name for this genus, so the cultivar 'Network' is not listed individually but is covered by the genus-level non-toxic entry. As with any plant, large quantities of fibrous leaves may still cause mild stomach upset, so verify with your vet if your pet is a persistent nibbler.
