Christmas Cactus
The Christmas cactus is a personal favorite of mine. With proper care, these beautiful, long-lasting plants grace our homes with tons of showy blooms right around the holidays each year.
For pet owners, Christmas cacti—whether Christmas cactus, Thanksgiving cactus, or Easter cactus—bring added joy, as they are not poisonous to cats or dogs. Consider gifting a Christmas cactus to a plant-loving friend with pets, ensuring a thoughtful and pet-friendly present.
Alternatively, if you have a Christmas cactus of your own, propagating cuttings for gifts is a delightful idea.
While some plants listed here may be considered toxic in some way, shape, or form, most won’t cause lasting harm to a pet. For those who prioritize 100% safety, there are pet-friendly holiday plant options. When selecting holiday décor, observe your pet’s behavior, and consult your vet with any concerns.
Wishing you and your faithful companions a joyous and healthy holiday season!
