Are your plants pet-friendly?
At Wild Interiors®, we’re pet lovers and understand you are too. We care about the health and safety of your furry friends, so we have developed a guide to pet-friendly plants for your reference. When browsing our site, look for the paw print icon 🐾 to indicate pet-friendly plant options. If you think your pet has ingested a toxic plant, please contact the vet immediately.
Also, note that even non-toxic plants might cause some tummy trouble. Keeping fresh catnip or oat grass growing in your home may cut down on kitties who want to get to know your plants. Check out the list below to discover pet-safe plants from Wild Interiors®.

Use your best judgment and knowledge of your pets before deciding to bring home a Snake Plant. Read more. The ASPCA rates this plant as toxic to dogs, cats, and horses.
