    Are segopalm trees bad for dogs? If they bite or chew them?
    My dsaughter saw a sign that said, segopalm trees are bad for dogs, if they chew them. Is that fact? If so what can you do?

    Any type of stick has the potential to harm your dog.
    If your dog is chewing a piece of wood, or even pine bark they can get small splinters off and swallow them, which can easily pierce vital organs or cause blockages.
    My yard is a stick-free zone.

    Do you have this particular type of tree in your backyard?
    If so perhaps you could block of the trunk of the tree with a small fence to prevent the dog from getting to it.

    Sago's are VERY dangerous, and will kill your dog if they ingest the seeds. I think even the root is poisonous.
