Is that plant safe for your pet?

Houseplants and garden plants, rated for dogs and cats against the ASPCA toxic-plant list. Conservative by design: when in doubt, we rate stricter.

Cat owners: lilies are in a category of their own. Even pollen or vase water can cause fatal kidney failure. No lilies in a cat home, ever.
