Common questions

How do I avoid buying a toxic palm by mistake?

Check the scientific name. True palms like Chamaedorea, Dypsis and Rhapis are safe; sago palm (Cycas revoluta) and cardboard palm (Zamia) are cycads and are deadly to dogs. If the tag says only “palm,” ask for the Latin name.

My dog shredded a bamboo palm — is cleanup a hazard?

The plant material itself is safe. Just clear the debris so the dog does not gulp large wads, which could cause a mild stomach upset or, in small dogs, a choking risk.
