The Best & Worst Houseplants For Pet Parents, According To The ASPCA.

Some popular houseplants can be toxic to dogs and cats when ingested, according to the https://www.aspca.org/. While your four-legged friends should be fine smelling these indoor plants, when they get a little too curious and take a bite, it can have serious consequences.

Here's a list of plants that are certified pet-safe, and a list of greenery that dog and cat owners should avoid.

Plants that are safe for cats & dogs:

Let's start with the good news. The following houseplant varieties are all ASPCA-approved, and their mood-boosting, air-clearing benefits will be great for you and your furry friend.

• African Violet •Areca Palm •Bamboo
•Caeroba •Calathea •Friendship plant
•Haworthia •Most ferns (Bird's Nest Fern, Boston fern, Duffii Fern, Maidenhair fern, Moss fern) •Orchid •Prayer plant •Spider Plant
•Watermelon Begonia
•Watermelon Peperomia •Venus Fly Trap

Plants that are NOT safe for cats & dogs.

"For example, for a dog, chewing on sticks from a Japanese yew can be enough to cause heart problems and a cat drinking water from a vase with lilies in it can have kidney failure."

Here are a few more popular houseplant varieties that your pets shouldn't be getting too close to, according to the ASPCA's public database:

•Aloe •Bird of paradise •Dracaena •Fiddle-leaf figs •Peace lily •Philodendrons •Snake plants

Small trees native to Japan, and lilies, a popular bouquet flower, are especially dangerous to animals, so pet owners should definitely consider steering clear of them. For a dog, chewing on sticks from a Japanese yew can be enough to cause heart problems and a cat drinking water from a vase with lilies in it can have kidney failure.

If you have your heart set on any other plants from this list, you can still get them and just place them in areas that are harder to reach (hanging pots, anyone?). 🌵🎋Hanging houseplants is a fun way to draw the eye upwards and add more greenery to your space without taking up square footage.
