Simply put, many common house plants can be toxic if ingested by cats or dogs, causing a range of symptoms from mild discomfort to severe, life-threatening illness. For responsible pet parents who also want to have plants, it is important to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Find non-toxic pet-safe plants.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Know your pet. Not all pets are interested in eating plants so knowing your pet is another key factor.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Place plants so it is safe from curious pets and the plant grows healthy.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Huey, the Figaro\u2019s shop cat, is rather picky and will only eat the occasional catnip plant. Other pets, however, might delight in chowing down on your house plants.
    Note that for pets ingesting a large amount of any plant material even non-toxic ones can cause stomach upset and other symptoms.<\/a>
    If your pet is exhibiting any negative symptoms after ingesting a plant, please contact your veterinarian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
