Pet safety
ASPCA-listed, sorted by severity — and what is safe instead.
The two lists below mirror the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plant List. Tap any plant for the dogs-specific guide — symptoms, what to do if eaten, and safe alternatives. Want only the safe ones? See the best dogs-safe plants.
The ASPCA lists lilies, sago palm, oleander, dieffenbachia, and aroids such as pothos and philodendron among the plants toxic to dogs. This page lists every plant in Growli's library the ASPCA classifies as toxic or mildly toxic to dogs, sorted by severity, each linking to symptoms and first-aid steps.
Remove any plant from your dog's mouth, take the plant away, note how much was eaten and when, and do not induce vomiting unless told to. Call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center on (888) 426-4435 and follow their advice; a leaf or photo helps the vet treat it correctly.
Growli lists 261 plants the ASPCA classifies as non-toxic to cats and dogs, including spider plant, calathea, parlor palm, and peperomia. See the best dogs-safe plants shortlist for safe choices.
