Pets and plants can coexist with these indoor plants safe for cats and dogs!
Chewy puppies and curious cats can make it challenging to create a home that is both beautiful and safe for your pets. Dogs like to chew, cats like to nibble, and a happy tail can cause all sorts of destruction. Honestly, who hasn’t lost a favorite pair of shoes or a vase full of flowers to a playful pet? Because pets have a tendency to chew, many pet parents are hesitant to have houseplants in their homes out of fear of making their pets sick.
Luckily, being a pet lover and plant lover aren’t mutually exclusive. Check out these non-toxic houseplants that are completely safe for both cats and dogs. And, if you want to double-check the toxicity of your current plants, visit the ASPCA’s website for a complete list of plants that are toxic for pets.
