Indoor plants are a gorgeous way to add some color to your home. However, we all know Odie sometimes has a habit of eating things he’s not supposed to. So, how do you decorate your apartment with greenery and blossoms while keeping a safe environment for your dog or cat?

Unfortunately, many houseplants are toxic for our naturally curious furry friends. That’s not to say all house plants are inherently dangerous to pets, but the reality is that many leaves and even flowers contain toxins that can make dogs and cats sick if ingested. In mild cases, these toxins can give your pet an upset stomach, but in severe cases (and depending on the amount ingested), some plants can make it difficult for your pet to breathe and even lead to death. Luckily, there are plenty of houseplants that are safe for pets so you keep your home a pet-friendly garden oasis!

We’ve put together a list of beautiful pet-friendly houseplants that will still give you place that “wow” factor without compromising your pet’s safety. And the best part is many of these pet-friendly houseplants can be found at your local greenhouse or garden center!
