A Blooming Gift of Care: Why Pet-Friendly Flowers Matter
As pet lovers, we know how deeply our lives are intertwined with our animals. They're not just companions—they're family. That’s why we believe it's important to think about the things we bring into our homes, including the flowers we enjoy.
Why Pet-Friendly Flowers Matter
What many people don’t realize is that several popular flowers—like lilies, tulips, and daffodils—are toxic to pets. Even a small nibble can be dangerous for curious cats or playful dogs. For households with animals, having safe, non-toxic flowers isn’t just a nice idea—it’s an act of care.
Pet-friendly flowers also make for incredibly thoughtful gifts. They say, “I see you, your love for your pets, and I want you to enjoy this fully, without worry.” It’s a small but meaningful gesture that considers the whole family.
At Naturel Fleurs, we feel it’s important to offer flowers that are both beautiful and responsible. Creating bouquets with pet-safe blooms is part of how we align our work with the values we hold: kindness, awareness, and thoughtful design.
