Pet-safe houseplant guide

Know which plants are safe for cats and dogs.

Search houseplants for separate cat and dog guidance, see when evidence is limited, and know where to turn if exposure may have happened.

Reviewed plant records

Start with a plant you know

The current library contains 104 plant records. Search by common name, scientific name, alias, or reviewed misspelling to find the plant you have.

Clear answers, careful limits

What every PawPlants answer should tell you

  1. Cats and dogs stay separate. A plant can have different conclusions for different pets. PawPlants does not collapse those answers into one label.
  2. Evidence limits stay visible. Missing evidence is not treated as proof of safety. Limited or unknown evidence remains a valid result.
  3. Plant identity matters. Common names can point to different plants, so scientific names, synonyms, and dangerous lookalikes are part of the review.

Possible exposure

If your pet may have eaten a plant, use the emergency guidance now.

Do not wait for a website classification to replace veterinary or poison-control guidance when an exposure may have happened.
