Haworthia

We considered this funky little houseplant, also known as the Zebra Plant, one of the coolest succulents out there. It has white horizontal stripes across its dark green, spiky leaves, which gives it a striking, unique look. While Haworthia is nontoxic for cats and dogs, it would definitely be unpleasant for your pets to chomp on its prickly leaves.

Blushing Bromeliad

This colorful, tropical-looking plant would make a beautiful addition to any home—even one with curious pets, as it’s nontoxic for both cats and dogs. Blushing Bromeliad grows vibrant green leaves that turn bright red in the center when it’s about to bloom. It is also naturally drought tolerant and very easy to care for.
