Decorate for the holidays with dog-friendly plants

Posted November 29, 2017

 
Decorate with dog-friendly plants and keep poinsettias out of reach.
Common holiday plants like poinsettias, holly and mistletoe can be dangerous for dogs. Instead, use dog-friendly plants to decorate.

The holidays are an extremely busy time. It can be easy to overlook your pet and fail to consider that something fun and festive could also be harmful so be sure to use dog-friendly plants when you decorate for the holidays.

As you prepare to celebrate the holiday season make sure to keep any dangerous decor out of reach for dogs, cats and little ones. If possible, avoid using any harmful plants and instead decorate with dog-friendly plants.

To help you keep your loved ones happy and healthy, use  this guide to poisonous plants created by ProFlowers.

It lists 199 plants, their toxicity level and which parts of the plant to avoid.

We hope you find this helpful as you celebrate the holiday season.
