Pet-Friendly Gardens

Toxic things you didn’t know you had in your garden

Creating a pet-friendly green space at home can be a bit of a learning curve. There are many common and beautiful plants that can be very toxic to pets. Even if you’ve stayed clear of toxic plants, the fertilizers and pesticides you’ve used can leave harmful residues behind.

How can you make your garden pet-friendly?

The easiest way to keep your furbaby from eating your tomatoes (yes! they’re also toxic) is by creating a barrier around your veggie garden. Before bringing in any knew plants, do a quick search to see if they’re pet-friendly. Sadly, there are way too many products out there for quick garden fixes that are filled with harmful chemicals. Wet pesticides/herbicides can be brought into your home and get all over pets’ fur from walking and laying on grass that’s been sprayed. Your pet can also be poisoned by ingesting a plant with residue on it.
