Pet Friendly

Here at The Little Botanical, pet-friendly houseplants are important to us because we simply love pets! Thereā€™s nothing better than having your dog greet you excitedly after a long dayā€™s work, or giving your cat a quick scratch between the ears before it gracefully slinks away. We know the love you guys have for your pets, so we make it our mission to ensure that we provide indoor plants that can co-exist alongside your cats and dogs in perfect harmony.

Choosing a pet-friendly plant

While many of our plants are pet-friendly, there are unfortunately some that should be avoided in order to keep your pets safe.Ā The CactusĀ for example, while being a long-standing classic and favourite in the world of botany, clearly would not make a good friend for a household pet. And for all its style and beauty, theĀ Ficus Elastica (Rubber Plant)Ā is unsafe for pets due to the thick sap it secretes which is used in the production of ā€“ you guessed it, rubber!

If you search our plants, you can select to only see ones that are pet-friendly. This means you are in no danger of picking a plant that might be toxic to them.

Like the examples above, some plants are obviously not safe for pets, but you should always double-check just to be sure. If youā€™re ever in doubt, have a look at our guide to plants that are safe for pets. We go over the topic in more detail and explain how you can make sure that your pets and your plants will get on well with one another.
