What PawPlants does

PawPlants is a pet plant safety reference for people who want a faster way to check common toxic and pet-safe plants for dogs, cats, rabbits, and birds. The goal is to help visitors identify risk, compare safer alternatives, and know when to contact a veterinarian or poison control hotline.

Important: PawPlants is not a veterinary service and does not diagnose, treat, or replace emergency care. If a pet ate a plant and symptoms are present, contact a licensed veterinarian or poison control hotline immediately.

Editorial approach

Plant entries are based on veterinary and poison-control sources including the ASPCA Animal Poison Control plant database and Pet Poison Helpline. Plant names can be confusing — we always recommend verifying the botanical name when making plant decisions for a pet household.
