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.
My cat shredded a majesty palm frond — should I worry?
Not about poisoning. Majesty palm is S0 Safe for cats, with no toxic principle and no clinical signs on the ASPCA record — a chewed frond is a plant problem rather than a vet problem. S0 means non-toxic on record, not that a big meal of any plant sits well — a cat that eats a lot of leaf may still get an upset stomach. Fronds are fibrous, so a cat that swallowed a lot of one might bring some of it back up, which is the fibre, not a toxin. Trim the damaged frond and move on.
