A big question we get when customers are shopping for a new indoor plant is what can be toxic to my dog or cat? Unfortunately, any plant your furry friend might snack on can become hazardous to their health, but there are a few specific indoor plants we carry that contain certain chemicals that can cause nausea, vomiting, oral burns, liver damage, among others. Please always use caution when introducing new plants into the home if you have a curious pet.
Houseplants toxic to cats and dogs that we typically carry:
Elephant ear
Pothos
Aloe
Dieffenbachia
Dracaena
English Ivy
Jade
Mother of Millions
Peace Lily
Philodendron
Bird of Paradise
Snake Plant
Spider Plant
Sago Palm
Again, very important: These plants contain certain chemicals that, when ingested by cats and dogs, can cause oral burns, inability to swallow, nausea, diarrhea, and potential liver damage. Please do your own research or talk with your vet before introducing new plants into your home when pets are present.
