FAQ

Is majesty palm safe for dogs as well as cats?

Yes, on the same record. The ASPCA lists Ravenea rivularis as non-toxic to cats, dogs, and horses, with no toxic principle and no clinical signs, so majesty palm is S0 Safe on both our cat and dog pages. That makes it a rare thing in our index: a tall, floor-standing plant that neither animal in a mixed household needs to be kept from. The difficulty is the plant, not the pets — majesty palm wants more light and humidity than most rooms offer, and a browning frond is a care problem rather than a warning sign.
