Looking for blooms to get that Valentine? If you’ve got furbabies, what’s in the vase matters. 

The good news? You don’t have to skip bouquets altogether. Plenty of beautiful blooms are considered pet-safe and still look stunning on the table.

Pet-Safe Flowers to Love

These flowers are generally regarded as non-toxic for cats and dogs and work beautifully in mixed bouquets:

• Roses– Classic, elegant, and surprisingly pet-friendly (just watch the thorns).
• Sunflowers – Bright, cheerful, and great for bold, happy arrangements.
• Orchids – Chic and long-lasting; most common varieties are pet-safe.
• Gerbera Daisies – Colorful and playful, perfect for modern bouquets.
• Snapdragons – Add height and texture without the worry.
• Freesia – Lightly fragrant and delicate.
• Lisianthus (Eustoma) – Soft, rose-like blooms that feel extra luxe.
• Zinnias – Fun, vibrant, and easygoing.
• Waxflower or Statice – Lovely fillers that add movement and color.

Smart Bouquet Tips for Pet Parents

Skip floral foam if pets like to chew—opt for natural stems and clean water instead.

Place arrangements thoughtfully, especially if you have curious cats who love to climb.

Avoid common toxic blooms like lilies, tulips, daffodils, and chrysanthemums when pets are around.

When in doubt, double-check—the ASPCA’s toxic and non-toxic plant list is a great resource.

Beautiful flowers and happy pets can absolutely coexist. With a little intention, your bouquet can be both stylish *and* safe—no emergency vet visits required.
