Houseplants and Small Dogs: Creating a Pet-Friendly Green Space
If you’re a small dog owner who also loves houseplants, you might have found yourself wondering: Can my pup and my plants peacefully coexist? The good news is, yes! With a bit of planning and the right plant selection, you can create a lush, green space that’s safe for your furry companion. In this blog, we’ll explore how to choose pet-safe plants, tips for dog-proofing your greenery, and creative ways to style your home with plants while keeping your small dog happy and healthy.
Combining houseplants and small dogs doesn’t have to mean sacrificing style. Here’s how you can create a chic and pet-friendly aesthetic:
✨ Layered Heights: Place larger plants (like Areca palms) on the floor in sturdy, decorative pots, while smaller ones are kept on wall-mounted shelves or hanging planters. This creates visual interest while keeping plants out of reach.
✨ Dog-Safe Planters: Choose stylish, heavy-bottomed planters to prevent curious dogs from tipping them over. Ceramic or concrete pots add both elegance and stability.
✨ Pet-Safe Green Corners: Turn an empty corner into a mini indoor garden by combining pet-safe plants, a comfy dog bed, and a decorative basket for your pup’s toys. This creates a cozy, inviting nook for both you and your dog.
