Pet-Friendly Plants

At Wild Interiors®, we’re pet lovers just like you, and we care about keeping your furry friends safe! That’s why we’ve created a guide to help you find pet-friendly plants. Just look for the paw print icon 🐾 on our site to spot options that are safer for homes with pets. And remember, if you ever suspect your pet has nibbled on a toxic plant, don’t delay, contact your vet right away!

  • Pro Tip: Even non-toxic plants can sometimes cause a little tummy upset, so keeping fresh catnip or oat grass around might help distract and satisfy any curious kitties’ taste for greenery.

**Important Notice for Pet Owners ** 

Before bringing any plant home, it’s a good idea to double-check for pet safety. Some common plants have natural compounds that might cause anything from mild irritation to more serious health issues in pets.

When in doubt, check the ASPCA’s Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List for up-to-date information and resources. ImproveNet also has a resource library for other pets as well, including reptiles and birds.

Use your best judgment and knowledge of your pets before bringing home a Snake Plant. Read more. The ASPCA rates this plant as toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.

**Croton is mildly toxic to pets and people if digested, but its bitter taste keeps most pets from eating it. In large doses, eating Croton plants can be fatal. Use your best judgment and knowledge of your pets before bringing a Croton home. Read more.
