Simple Tips for Pet-Safe Flower Selection

Choosing pet safe flowers starts with knowing which blooms are safe for dogs and which flowers are safe for cats. Roses, gerberas, and sunflowers are popular picks for their stunning colours and lower toxicity levels. It’s a good idea to skip floral foam or any part of the plant that might tempt curious nibblers.

Keep an eye on your pets when introducing new flowers and plants as it's always better safe than sorry. And remember, just because a bloom is generally safe for your pets doesn’t mean endless nibbling is wise! At Kate Hill Flowers, we guide you through options that aren’t toxic to cats and dogs, letting every wagging tail and playful paw remain worry-free.

Crafting a Pet-Friendly Home Environment

A home filled with cut flowers can still be safe for your pets. One handy trick is placing arrangements on higher surfaces, away from a dog or cat that loves to explore. Another good idea is rotating decorations so prying noses don’t have time to cause mischief.

You can also use gates or barriers to keep highly toxic varieties out of reach. This way, you can display your favourite blooms while steering clear of toxic to pets mishaps. At Kate Hill Flowers, we relish helping you strike the right balance between natural beauty and a home where pets roam safely.

Loving Care for Long-Lasting Bouquets

Proper care extends the life of your cut flowers and keeps your environment pet friendly. Regularly swapping out the water helps dodge bacteria build-up that might entice pets to drink. Trimming stems and removing wilted leaves lowers the chance of accidental ingestion if a curious cat or dog decides to nibble.

If your four-legged friend seems too fascinated by your bouquet, try moving it to a quieter spot. Every bloom deserves a little TLC, and so do your pets. At Kate Hill Flowers, we happily share tips for prolonging bouquet life while keeping those wagging tails and soft purrs at ease.
