# My dog has been eating my parlor palm. My dog is fine these aren't…

_Posted by PlantGirlyPop on 2025-05-13_

My dog has been eating my parlor palm. My dog is fine these aren't dangerous for him I'm pretty sure but my plant is not. You can see where he ate it. What do I do? I've been wondering about pruning the dead/eaten stuff but idk that might make it worse. Any advice?

I would trim back anything that looks brown/dead, it won’t come back and it’s best to let the plant spend the energy making new growths. Looks like you still have plenty of healthy parts though!
