When it comes to sending birthday flowers, it’s hard to go wrong – or at least so you would think! Getting Aunt Ermintrude that bouquet of beautiful lilies delivered to her door might have seemed like a foolproof gift, but in reality you could be sending a potential poisonous flower-bomb into a pet-friendly home. The last thing you want is Aunt Emintrude’s ailing cat on your conscience.

Organising a flower delivery to a pet owner is a tricky business. Think of it like flower Tetris; with so many potentially lethal plants and flowers in your local florist, getting the right combination is not a game for the light-hearted. Neither is it impossible though; with a little research into the world of botanics, you’ll soon be sending pet-friendly bouquets without a second thought. For the pet owners amongst us, this will come as a relief, as we all know how meddlesome our furry little friends can be when it comes to investigating things they are not supposed to touch.

The first, and most important, rule when it comes to sending flowers is never presume that a common household flower is safe – the internet is your friend, so use it wisely. Some of the most popular birthday flowers used in bouquets are actually poisonous to animals, so it’s vital that you double-check before you send them. You might, for instance, be surprised to learn that some species of lilies and orchids can cause serious damage to your beloved cats and dogs with just the slightest nibble of their blooms. Even something as innocent looking as ivy can cause issues to your pets, while the foxgloves you find in your garden are lethal. Another problem bloom that comes as a surprise to most are daffodils, which again are to be avoided if you own animals.

With their slight frames and delicate metabolisms, cats and dogs are easily susceptible to the poisons in plants that humans are immune to.  In some instances, these can lead to sickness and diarrhoea and can potentially be lethal. Not only may one of your beloved pets be in danger, but with the cost of veterinary treatment, you could be in for a hefty bill just to compound the misery.

But before you’re put off from ever sending a flower again for fear of poisoned felines and canines, it’s worth noting that there are plenty of non-toxic flowers that are perfect for special occasions. Flowers like tulips might have poisonous bulbs, but since you’re unlikely to have a vase of bulbs in your living room, it’s perfectly safe to opt for tulips. Popular house plants such as the African Violet are similarly non-toxic, making them a perfect choice for a gift. The key is to research plants and flowers on the internet first or even better ask your florist when you buy them.  That way, you can say ‘Thank you’ with flowers without having to send another bouquet to say ‘Sorry’.
