Is Calathea White Fusion toxic to dogs?

Goeppertia lietzei 'White Fusion' (syn. Calathea lietzei 'White Fusion')

Non-toxic to dogs

No — calathea white fusion 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 cats, dogs and horses, and NC State Extension confirms Goeppertia lietzei is non-toxic to pets and humans. The only caveat is that the sap may cause mild contact dermatitis on handling, so wash hands after pruning or dividing; this is a skin note, not an ingestion-toxicity risk.
