Pet-Friendly Flowers

Pet-friendly flowers are blooms considered non-toxic to cats and dogs when displayed responsibly. Common pet safe flowers include roses, gerbera, gerbera daisies, orchids, sunflowers, lisianthus, snapdragons, and selected native varieties. At Flowers Express Co., our pet friendly flowers collection is built around a trusted list of non-toxic options to reduce risk for pets.

Pet owners should avoid flowers such as lilies, hyacinth, oleander, and other toxic plants known to be harmful to dogs and cats. When unsure, consult your local vet or choose from a trusted list of non-toxic flowers.

Some indoor plants are safe, but many are toxic to cats and dogs. Knowing which flowers and plants are suitable is essential for maintaining a pet-friendly home.

If your cat or dog eats flowers or plants and shows symptoms such as vomiting or gastrointestinal distress, contact your local vet immediately. Identifying the flower and the part of the plant involved can help speed up treatment.
