Pets are curious by nature. Houseplants, sadly, are the unfortunate victims of curiosity.

But then again, so are pets.

If you house exotic plants in your house, there’s a chance that the leaves of some may be toxic to pets, and should not be ingested.

Dogs, for example, love going after houseplants, especially puppies, as it gives them something to teethe on.

Cats might view it as something to play and interact with.

In the end, however, pets and houseplants just do not mix, and it is advised to keep pets at a distance from houseplants if you have any.

As you likely know, houseplants are not very strong against the teeth of a dog, or the paw of a cat.
