How it works

What the tool does

Every plant with a care profile on Plant Care Club is listed here as non-toxic, toxic or not listed for cats and dogs.
Each label was checked against the ASPCA Toxic and Non-Toxic Plants list, matching by scientific name first. For every plant we matched, the ASPCA cat and dog listings agree.
Search by common or scientific name, or filter to non-toxic or toxic plants. Each card links to the plant's care profile.

FAQ

Good to know

Not necessarily. Non-toxic means the ASPCA does not list the plant as toxic to cats or dogs, but the ASPCA notes that eating any plant material may cause vomiting and stomach upset. If your pet eats a plant and seems unwell, call your vet.

The ASPCA list has no entry for that plant or its genus, so we can't say either way. Treat it as potentially toxic and check with your vet.

The checker only covers plants we have care profiles for. Look the plant up on the ASPCA plant list, and in an emergency call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435.
