One company called Plants for Pet Parents says they want to ensure both safety and beauty in households with furry friends.
“This shop was inspired by my senior dog, Watson, and my love for houseplants. I realized that I hadn’t come across a business specifically focused on pet-safe plants. I wanted to make it easy for pet parents to shop for plants without worrying about whether they’re toxic or accidentally falling in love with a plant outside of the pet-friendly section,” Owner of Plants for Pet Parents, Katharine said.
The shop features a variety of planters, plants, decor, and plant care supplies. Plus, plants a tree for every order placed.
