Hi there! I totally get why you’d want to be cautious with your new puppy and the plants in your home. To answer your question, philodendrons are not safe around dogs. They contain insoluble calcium oxalates, which can cause irritation in your dog’s mouth and digestive tract if ingested.
Symptoms to watch for include:
If your puppy only nibbled a little bit, you might notice mild irritation and drooling, which you can manage at home by offering water or milk to help rinse the mouth and soothe irritation. Keeping an eye on their behavior for the next 24 hours is a good idea.
However, if you notice severe symptoms like persistent vomiting, swelling around the mouth, or if your puppy seems distressed or in pain, it's best to call your vet immediately. Also, if you suspect your pup ate a larger amount, don't wait to get in touch with a vet.

It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
