Is calathea and prayer plant toxic to dogs?

Safe. The ASPCA lists calathea or prayer plant as non-toxic to dogs, though eating any plant can cause mild stomach upset.

If your dog ate a lot

  1. Check the plant's name to be sure it is a calathea or prayer plant.
  2. Watch for mild vomiting or stomach upset, which any plant can cause.
  3. Call your vet if vomiting continues or your dog seems unwell.
