Pet-Friendly Houseplants: Safe Choices for Cats and Dogs
Sharing your home with pets does not mean you have to give up on beautiful indoor plants.
Some common houseplants can cause irritation if eaten by cats or dogs, so choosing pet-friendly varieties can make decorating your home easier.
Calathea Orbifolia
Known for its large silver-striped leaves, Calathea Orbifolia is both decorative and considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
Dypsis Lutescens
The Areca Palm creates an instant tropical atmosphere and is a popular pet-friendly floor plant.
Peperomia Obtusifolia
Compact and easy to care for, Peperomia is a great option for shelves, desks and side tables.
Pilea Peperomioides
The distinctive round leaves of the Chinese Money Plant make it a playful addition to a pet-friendly interior.
Haworthiopsis Attenuata
This small zebra-striped succulent is an excellent option for sunny shelves and windowsills.
Always consider your pet’s behaviour
Even plants considered non-toxic are not intended to be eaten. Large amounts of plant material can still cause stomach upset.
If your cat or dog enjoys chewing plants, placing them out of reach is always the safest option.
