At Plantish, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between a beautiful home and a safe one for your furry best friend. Some real plants - while gorgeous - can be highly toxic to dogs. Let's be honest, pups will find a way to chew the one thing they shouldn’t.

Luckily, we’ve got the paw-fect (sorry) solution: stunningly realistic artificial plants that give you all the lush, leafy goodness with none of the worry. Here’s the ultimate guide to safe, stylish alternatives for dog owners; meet the Plantish crew ready to upgrade your space! 🐶🪴

1. Pedro the Artificial Peony 🌸

Toxic twin: Real peonies are beautiful but packed with compounds that can cause vomiting and diarrhoea in dogs. Yikes.

Why Pedro is better: Pedro brings all the charm of a blooming peony without the danger (or the pollen). Fluffy, full, and always in peak bloom, Pedro is the floral friend your home (and dog) deserves. No water, no wilting, no vet visits necessary.

 

2. Pippa the Artificial Pothos/Pablo the Artificial Pothos 🌿

Toxic twin: Real pothos (also called Devil’s Ivy) is extremely toxic to pets if chewed - causing oral irritation, vomiting, and difficulty swallowing. Basically, a big no-no.

Why Pippa and Pablo are better: These two are the ultimate low-drama duo. Our artificial pothos trail beautifully from shelves, tables, or hanging baskets, bringing that luscious, cascading look to your home - minus the stress. Perfect for nosy pups who can’t resist a dangling leaf.

3. Sansa the Artificial Snake Plant 🐍

Toxic twin: Snake plants are toxic to dogs due to saponins, natural compounds that irritate the mouth and stomach, causing nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. In severe cases, dogs may also experience lethargy, a rapid heart rate, or dilated pupils.

Why Sansa is better: Sansa’s sleek and upright style is just as striking as the real thing, minus the poisonous potential. She adds a sculptural, modern edge to any space and doesn’t mind if your pup sniffs a little too close. Smart, stylish, and completely safe.

 

4. Grace the Artificial Onion Grass 🌾

Toxic twin: Real onion grass contains compounds that can damage a dog’s red blood cells, leading to haemolytic anaemia. Symptoms may include gastrointestinal upset, pale gums, and dark urine - all serious signs that require urgent vet attention.

Why Grace is better: Grace brings texture and movement to any room with her light, wispy blades - no mowing, no mess, and definitely no medical emergencies. She’s the chic, minimalist option for dog-loving homes that want a little something unexpected.
