Pet-Friendly Plants You Can Actually Trust
Pet-Friendly Plants You Can Actually Trust
Category: Plants for Every Space
If your pets treat your houseplants like a snack bar, you're not alone. Whether you’ve got a curious cat, a nosy pup, or both—choosing pet-safe plants can give you peace of mind and a thriving indoor jungle.
Here’s a list of truly pet-friendly plants that won’t harm your furry friends (just in case they take a bite).
🐾 Safe and Stylish Plant Picks
🌿 Spider Plant
Fast-growing, air-purifying, and totally non-toxic—though cats may have similar effects as catnip if they eat its leaves.
🌿 Peperomia
Compact, colorful, and super low maintenance. Tons of varieties and all of them are pet-safe.
🌿 Prayer Plant
Vibrant, patterned leaves that fold up at night—and yes, they’re safe for cats and dogs.
🌿 Calathea
A little dramatic about care, but not about your pets. Non-toxic and gorgeous.
🌿 Baby Rubber Plant (Peperomia obtusifolia)
Not to be confused with the toxic Rubber Tree—this one’s safe, easy, and perfect for desks and shelves.
🌿 Pilea
Cute, compact, and safe for pets. Bonus: it sprouts babies you can share!
Plants to Avoid Around Pets (Toxic!)
❌ Peace Lily
❌ Pothos
❌ Snake Plant
❌ Philodendron
❌ Aloe Vera
❌ Monstera Deliciosa
Even if they look great, these can cause stomach upset, vomiting, or worse if ingested. Always double-check toxicity before adding to your space and place them out of reach of your furry friends.
Pet-Proofing Tips
🐶 Keep plants on shelves or in hanging planters
🐱 Use citrus peels or pet deterrent sprays if needed
🪴 Use Clear Nursery Pots to monitor root health if your pet tends to dig
🌱 Choose Signature Grow Mix to support strong, healthy roots—even if Fluffy gets curious
Root Tip
Even with non-toxic plants, it’s best to discourage nibbling—some pets can still have sensitivities or make a mess of your soil. (Rude.)
Ready to green your space without risking your fur babies?
Shop our pet-safe plant collection, and don’t forget Root Boost and Signature Grow Mix to help them thrive—no matter who’s sniffing around.
