PET SAFE IS ONLY PART OF THE PLAN
Think About the Plant and the Placement
Choosing a lower risk plant is useful, but where you put it matters too, especially if your cat or dog is determined to investigate everything.
Start with your pets, then think about light, space and where the plant can realistically live.
WHAT DOES PET SAFE REALLY MEAN?
Better Suited to Pets Does Not Mean Risk Free
Shop carefully, then think about where the plant will live.
Pet safe usually means a plant is generally considered non toxic to cats and dogs, but individual pets can react differently and eating large amounts of plant material can still cause stomach upset.
01
CHECK
Read the individual plant information before bringing it home.
02
PLACE
Use shelves, hanging pots or harder to reach areas for curious pets.
03
OBSERVE
Every cat or dog behaves differently around houseplants.
04
RESPOND
If your pet eats something concerning, seek veterinary advice.
GOT A SERIAL PLANT NIBBLER?
Sometimes the Best Solution Is Higher Up
If your pet likes chewing leaves, placement can matter just as much as plant choice. Trailing plants, hanging pots and compact plants can give you more options for keeping greenery away from curious paws.

A Few Things You Might Want to Know
What Does “Pet Safe” Mean for a Houseplant? +
Pet safe usually means a plant is generally considered non toxic to cats and dogs.
That does not mean every plant is completely risk free in every situation. Individual reactions can vary, and chewing large amounts of plant material can still cause stomach upset.
What Are Good Pet Safe Houseplants? +
Depending on your space, options can include some Calathea, Maranta, Peperomia, ferns and palms.
The best choice still depends on your light levels, available space and how your pet behaves around plants, so check each individual plant’s care and safety information before choosing.
Are All Plants in This Collection Safe for Cats and Dogs? +
This collection is intended to bring together plants generally considered better suited to homes with pets.
Plant information can change and individual animals can react differently, so always check the individual product information.
If your pet has eaten a plant and you are concerned, seek veterinary advice.
What if My Cat or Dog Likes to Chew Houseplants? +
If your pet is a determined plant nibbler, placement is just as important as the type of plant you choose.
Consider shelves, hanging pots or areas your pet cannot easily reach. You can also explore Trailing & Hanging Plants or Small & Compact Plants for options that may be easier to position.
Do Pet Safe Houseplants Need Different Care? +
No. A plant being considered pet friendly does not change its normal care requirements.
Light, watering, humidity and temperature still depend on the individual species, so choose a plant that suits both your home and your routine.
Can I Order Pet Safe Houseplants for UK Delivery? +
Yes. Many plants in this collection can be ordered online for delivery across the UK, subject to the delivery options shown on each individual product.
Always check the plant’s individual information before ordering if pet suitability is particularly important in your home.
