Pet-Safe Houseplants Questions & Answers
Complete guide to non-toxic plants for cats and dogs, ASPCA-verified safety information, and expert care advice.
A houseplant is considered pet-safe when it appears on the ASPCA's official non-toxic plant database for cats and dogs. These plants contain no compounds that cause toxicity when ingested by pets. Our collection exclusively features plants cross-referenced with ASPCA safety data, including spider plants, Boston ferns, areca palms, and bamboo palms.
The most dangerous houseplants for pets include lilies (especially Easter, tiger, and Asiatic lilies for cats), sago palms, azaleas, tulips, daffodils, oleander, and philodendrons. These plants can cause severe poisoning or death. Cats are particularly sensitive to lily toxicity, while dogs face serious risks from sago palm ingestion. For complete identification and safety information, see our comprehensive toxic plants to avoid guide.
Yes, many excellent air-purifying plants are completely safe for cats and dogs. NASA-studied air purifiers like spider plants, Boston ferns, areca palms, bamboo palms, and rubber plants (Ficus elastica) effectively remove formaldehyde, benzene, and other indoor pollutants while being non-toxic to pets according to ASPCA data. Learn more in our complete air purifying plants guide.
Plant poisoning symptoms in cats and dogs include vomiting, diarrhea, excessive drooling, difficulty breathing, lethargy, loss of appetite, and unusual behavior. Cats may also show kidney failure signs with lily poisoning. If you suspect plant ingestion, contact your veterinarian immediately or call ASPCA Animal Poison Control at (888) 426-4435. For detailed emergency protocols, visit our pet safety guide.
Best beginner pet-safe houseplants include spider plants (easy propagation), Boston ferns (air purifying), cast iron plants (low light tolerance), bamboo palms (statement plants), and prayer plants (colorful foliage). These plants are forgiving, require minimal care, and are completely non-toxic to cats and dogs. For detailed care instructions, check our comprehensive plant care guide.
Some succulents are pet-safe while others are toxic. Safe options include echeveria, haworthia, and certain sedums. However, jade plants, aloe vera, and kalanchoe are toxic to cats and dogs. Always verify each succulent species against ASPCA databases before bringing them into pet households.
Many herbs are safe for cats and dogs, including basil, cilantro, parsley, dill, and certain mint varieties. However, avoid chives, garlic, onions, and some oregano varieties which are toxic to pets. Our pet-safe herb collection features only ASPCA-verified non-toxic varieties for culinary and medicinal use.
If your pet eats any plant: 1) Identify the plant species, 2) Remove any remaining plant material from their mouth, 3) Contact your veterinarian or ASPCA Poison Control immediately, 4) Monitor for symptoms, 5) Do not induce vomiting unless specifically instructed by a professional. Keep photos of your plants for quick identification in emergencies.

Pet-Safe Plant Science & Safety Facts
Research-backed information about plant safety, air purification, and pet health from botanical and veterinary studies.
NASA's Clean Air Study identified plants that remove indoor air pollutants. Many top performers like spider plants and Boston ferns are also ASPCA-verified as non-toxic to pets.
The ASPCA maintains a database of over 700 plants verified as non-toxic to cats and dogs, providing pet parents with extensive safe plant options for every room and garden.
