❕A message from a concerned dog dad 🐶

So after purchasing a load of plants and being a complete novice, I’ve come to realise that some are potentially toxic to dogs after uploading them into the app. I’ve had ‘Phil the imperial Green Philodendron’ here for a number of years prior to us getting ‘Monty’ our 1.5yr old Sausage 🌭 Now ‘Monty’ has shown no signs of any issues with ‘Phil’ as you can probably tell from the photo 🙄 … but after learning ‘Phil’ is about as toxic to dogs as a fart in a lift should I be worried??

Any advice welcome at this point!!

I'm not sure thats a philodendron it looks more like a bird of paradise to me.

Interesting. It’s what the app  
Recommended. I’ll try again

Agreed, it looks like a bird of paradise.

Sometimes the identifier is inaccurate. Someone else posted where their monstera was identified as a heartleaf philodendron (totally different sizes, quarter vs palm size).

I’m going to take another pic and see what happens 😬
