Which houseplants are safe around cats and dogs, checked against the ASPCA list.
Cats and dogs chew on plants, and some common houseplants can make them sick. This section helps you check whether a plant is considered safe around pets, understand what the published toxicity lists do and do not tell you, and arrange your home so curious animals and plants can share it. It answers questions about which plants to keep out of reach and how to read a plant label with pets in mind.
Begin with how to read the pet-safe plant list, and check a plant by its botanical name, since common names vary. Even a plant listed as safe can upset a pet's stomach if eaten. If you think your pet has chewed a toxic plant, call your veterinarian or an animal poison control line right away.
