Understanding Plant Safety Ratings

All plants featured in our guide have been thoroughly researched and verified as non-toxic to both pets and humans. We use a simple rating system to help you make informed choices:

  • Pet-Safe: No known toxicity to cats, dogs, or other common household pets
  • Child-Friendly: Safe for children to touch and interact with under supervision
  • Air-Purifying: Known to help improve indoor air quality by removing common pollutants

While these plants are considered safe, it's always best practice to discourage pets and children from ingesting any plant material. If you suspect your pet has consumed a plant and is showing signs of distress, contact your veterinarian immediately.
