Suitable plants for pets

Pet-friendly plants to grow



When we plan our gardens, there is a tendency to make choices based on the plant's color, texture, habits, and flowering season. But it makes sense to add our beloved pets to the equation. After all, although there are some plants that can actually be used or enjoyed by our pets, many of them are still harmful and sometimes dangerous.


If you have cats, dogs, rabbits, or guinea pigs, the freedom of pets to roam, relax and play happily in the garden - or at least the allotted area - is always something to consider when choosing plants.


This is a guide to some of the plants you should grow in your garden (see the list of plants you should not grow for your pets that are dangerous to pets). Whatever you raise, keep in mind that your pets still need to be monitored. If you have any doubts about your Home garden and how your pet is coping with it, do not hesitate to ask the veterinarian.

It is also important to remember that what is suitable for one animal is dangerous for another.
