The ASPCA Index Will Tell You If a Plant Is Safe for Pets Before You Buy It

You may already know common plants like oleander or holly that are bad for dogs and cats , but if you are thinking of buying a plant and are not sure if it is safe for your pet, the ASPCA Search Index can help.

You can search the index for specific plants, or filter the list by pet type (dog, cat, etc.). Go to the profile of a plant to find out what qualities make it toxic, which pets it is toxic to, and your pet’s reactions to the plant. For this index, toxicity does not necessarily mean death, the plant can simply cause problems in their digestive system, cause pain or other troubles. A quick pre-purchase search means you won’t buy plants for your home or yard just to find out later that they may be harmful to your pets.
