Is Anthurium toxic to cats and dogs?

Anthurium

The verdicts, with their source

What our table adds

Toxic to cats and dogs per the ASPCA — the same insoluble calcium oxalate crystals as peace lily and dieffenbachia, so chewing burns the mouth and causes drooling and trouble swallowing. Despite the “flamingo lily” nickname it is not a true lily, so it will not cause the kidney failure those do.

Source: ASPCA, “Flamingo Flower” (Anthurium scherzeranum)

How this page is made

Every line about this plant comes from the curated table behind our plant checker, as it stands. A verdict appears only beside the ASPCA listing that states it; where the table has no such source, the page says “Not assessed” instead of guessing.
