Hello, all of you who adopted a pandemic puppy or a quarantine kitten! If you haven’t already, it’s time to level up your plant game. Winter is coming, and you’re going to want something pretty in the windows when the sun starts setting at like 3:30 in the afternoon in another few weeks. Nothing against 100% green, but personally, we love house plants with lots of pink (and they happen to complement our newly renovated kitchen perfectly!) Because we have both a puppy and kitten, we went in search of pretty pink pet safe house plants (also a few purple ones) that the ASCPA has said are non-toxic for our beloved dog and cat. Here’s our edit of the best of the bunch. Somewhere on this list is the perfect new plant for pet parents to bring home.

We are new pet parents – of a puppy and a kitten – and we are also in the mood for a home décor refresh. Which caused us to go in search of pretty pink plants that are pet safe. This was a bit harder than one might think.

And yes, some of the prettiest pink plants are strictly off-limits for homes with a dog or cat (we’re looking at you, variegated rubber plant). We went straight to the experts at the ASPCA to learn which plants are toxic or “mildly toxic” for cats and dogs.
The best pretty pink indoor house plants to buy that are dog and cat safe.
Then we made a Venn diagram of pretty pink (and a few purple) indoor house plants that are completely safe for parents of either a dog or a cat (or both!).
The good news is that there are LOTS of options that make the cut. Here are some of our favorites, along with where to buy them.
