Keep your fur babies safe with these pet safe plants and flowers!
If you are like most pet owners, you are concerned about the health and safety of your pets. As a result you may believe that you can’t have both pets and flowers and plants in your home. We completely understand. We love our pets too! They are members of the family and the last thing we want is to risk them getting sick from toxic flowers or plants that you’ve either received or bought yourself. And although we tend to think flowers and plants are hard to coexist with our fur babies, the ASPCA has a perfect list to cross check for pet safe plants and flowers to help keep them healthy!
Listed below is from the ASPCA of popular flowers and plants that are non toxic for pets. In more of a traditional sense flowers such as roses, sunflowers, alstroemeria, and gerbera daisies along with plants like African violets, spider plants and orchids are safe for any pets.
On the other side are some traditional flowers such as carnations, tulips, mums, and hydrangea and plants such as cyclamen, kalanchoe and peace lilies are highly toxic to your pets. You can find more listed below:
If by unfortunate chance your pet has ingested any of the toxic flowers or plants, notice the signs right away and bring them to your local vet. A list of symptoms can be found below:
- Drooling
- Nausea
- Weakness
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Lethargy
So when we think of sending a pet owner a special bouquet or plant, or even out shopping for yourself, refer quickly to this list and keep our fur babies safe!
