🌻 Beautiful Blooms: Choosing Flowers Safe For Dogs 🌻
As pet parents, we strive to create a safe and welcoming environment for our furry family members. When it comes to adding a touch of nature with flowers, it's essential to choose blooms that are not only beautiful but also safe for our beloved dogs. Dogs are curious creatures by nature, often sniffing, tasting, and sometimes ingesting parts of plants and flowers. While this behavior is a normal part of their exploration, certain flowers can pose serious health risks, leading to symptoms ranging from mild gastrointestinal upset to severe poisoning, depending on the toxicity of the plant.
The following list of plants and flowers have been identified by the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) as non-toxic to dogs.

Check out the ‘Plants and Flowers Toxic To Dogs’ list to make sure it isn’t classified as toxic by the ASPCA.
Why worry about which flowers are in the yard?
When choosing new plants and flowers, a little planning can prevent a panicked call to the emergency vet when your dog begins to vomit after chewing on the plants.
Protecting Your Pup's Health: Opting for flowers that are non-toxic to dogs is crucial in safeguarding their well-being. Many common plants and flowers can be harmful or even poisonous to our canine friends if ingested. Check the list of Plants and Flowers Toxic To Dogs to see if a plant or flower is dangerous and should be avoided.
Preventing Accidental Ingestion: Dogs are naturally curious creatures and may nibble on plants out of curiosity or boredom. Choosing flowers that are safe for dogs helps prevent accidental ingestion that could lead to digestive issues or more severe health concerns.
Creating a Pet-Friendly Environment: By selecting flowers that are safe for dogs, you can create a pet-friendly space where your furry friend can roam freely without the risk of exposure to toxic plants.
Even plants and flowers that are safe for dogs may come home from the nursery with toxic sprays or chemicals. It is advised to wash water over new plants prior to planting them within reach of dogs. If you suspect your pet may have ingested a potentially toxic substance, call the APCC at (888) 426-4435 or contact your local veterinarian as soon as possible. A consultation fee from the Vet may apply.
Dog-Safe Flower Options
Your home can be both beautiful and safe. Some of our favorite plants are deemed ‘non-toxic’ and safe by the ASPCA:
Lavender: Known for its calming scent, lavender is safe for dogs and adds a touch of relaxation to your home.
Roses: Classic roses are generally safe for dogs, but be cautious of thorns and pesticides.
Sunflowers: Bright and cheerful sunflowers are non-toxic to dogs and bring a sunny vibe to your space.
Don’t risk a ‘zoomie’ while planting flowers.
