ZZ plants are beautiful, but they can also be dangerous to your pets. ZZ plants contain insoluble calcium oxalate crystals which can cause oral irritation, vomiting, and difficulty breathing in dogs and cats. In severe cases, ZZ plants can even be fatal.
Houseplants are living beings, and they don’t like it when you mistreat them. Since many of the plant’s problems are caused by their owners’ actions, there is no reason to be afraid of your houseplant, just that if you kill it, then it will be all your fault.
