I'm trying to identify this houseplant to make sure the leaf is not poisonous to my new puppy. She keeps grabbing at the leafs. I've already removed a Dumb Cane and a Calla Lily from the living room! Also we have a Christmas Cactus and Jade Tree, but they don't show up on poisonous lists. Thanks!
Help identify this houseplant
I think it is a swiss-cheese plant, also called Monstera, I'm not sure if it is poisonous for pets. very pretty :)
It may be a tree philodendron, Philodendron bipinnatifidum

If you read through the PlantFiles listing for this plant (Philodendron bipinnatifidum), in the gardener's notes there is a notation that this plant is poisonous if ingested in large quantities, and the sap can be irritating to skin.
