Is Nerve plant toxic to cats and dogs?

Fittonia albivenis

The verdicts, with their source

What our table adds

Non-toxic to cats and dogs per the ASPCA — a good pick for a low shelf or a terrarium within reach of a curious pet. Nothing poisonous in it, though a big mouthful can upset a stomach like any plant.

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.
