Pet safety

Pet-safe plants: is it toxic to cats & dogs?

Check any plant against the ASPCA toxic and non-toxic list before it comes home.

Pets explore with their mouths, and a houseplant on a low shelf is fair game. The list below mirrors the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Tap any plant for the full pet-safety guide — symptoms, what to do if it is eaten, and (for toxic species) non-toxic alternatives with the same look.

101Non-toxic to cats and dogs

ASPCA-listed as non-toxic. The safest picks for a home with pets — though no plant is meant to be a snack.

60Mildly toxic — keep out of reach

Rarely serious, but chewing causes real discomfort (usually mouth irritation, drooling, or vomiting). Best placed where pets cannot reach.

39Toxic — keep away from pets

Can cause significant reactions if eaten. Keep these out of any pet's reach entirely, and see each page for safe alternatives.
