- Summary
- The ZZ plant (Zamioculcas zamiifolia) is a popular houseplant that is mildly toxic to both dogs and cats due to insoluble calcium oxalate crystals present throughout all parts of the plant — leaves, stems, and roots. When chewed or ingested, these needle-sharp crystals cause irritation and swelling of the mouth, throat, and gastrointestinal tract; skin or coat contact can also cause dermal irritation. Typical signs include drooling, oral irritation (pawing at the mouth), vomiting, diarrhea, and decreased appetite, with severe or life-threatening reactions considered rare.
