While money tree plants are not toxic to dogs, it’s important to be mindful of any changes in your dog's health after consuming plants. Even non-toxic plants can cause mild gastrointestinal disturbance, so it's best to offer your pet a safe alternative chew and try to prevent access to any houseplants.
