Pet-Friendly Flowers in Singapore
Not every flower belongs in a home with pets. Each bouquet in this collection is arranged only with blooms considered safe for the fluffy companions who share it, made by hand in our studio and delivered the same day across Singapore. Browse the pet-friendly bouquets below, or read on for which flowers are safe, which to avoid, and how to choose well.
Pet-Friendly Flowers for Cats and Dogs
Pets explore with their mouths, and a petal on the floor becomes a snack before you notice. Most flowers cause nothing worse than a brief upset stomach, but a few can do real harm, and lilies can cause kidney failure in cats from a very small amount.
That is why pet-safe flowers are worth asking for by name. Flowers that are safe for cats are almost always safe for dogs, so a bouquet built for one suits the other. Ours are chosen with both in mind, right down to the fillers and foliage, which is where the trouble usually hides.
Which Flowers Are Safe for Cats and Dogs?
The blooms below are the ones we actually use in this collection. Each appears on the ASPCA's non-toxic list, the reference most vets in Singapore point to.
- Roses, including spray and miniature garden roses
- Sunflowers
- Gerbera daisies
- Orchids, in the varieties commonly used in Singapore
- Lisianthus, also sold as eustoma
- Asters
- Freesia
- Stock, also called matthiola
- Wax flower, statice and caspia as fillers
- Leatherleaf fern as foliage

Are Roses Safe for Cats and Dogs?
Yes. Roses are on the non-toxic list, which is why they anchor several bouquets on this page. The only real hazard is the thorn, so keep the vase where a determined cat or dog cannot pull it over. Rose bouquets elsewhere on our site may carry fillers that are not pet-safe.
Are Orchids Safe for Cats and Dogs?
The orchids we use in cut arrangements, such as phalaenopsis and dendrobium, are classed as non-toxic, and the vanda family behind Singapore's national flower is on the same list. Not every orchid species has been assessed, so we only use varieties with a clear record. If you would like orchids in your bouquet, Cleo, Gina, Sadie and Melissa on this page all carry them alongside other pet-safe stems.
Are Sunflowers and Gerbera Daisies Pet-Safe?
Both are safe for the pets at home, and both lead the brighter bouquets here. A sunflower's seed head can upset a dog's stomach if eaten in quantity, so keep it displayed on an elevated surface rather than on the floor. Gerbera daisies resemble chrysanthemums, which are not pet-safe, so go by the name on the bouquet rather than the shape.
Flowers to Avoid If You Have Cats or Dogs
Some of the most popular flowers in Singapore are the ones to keep out of a pet household.
- Lilies: all true lilies are dangerous to cats. Pollen licked off fur is enough to cause kidney damage. Dogs are less affected but can still fall ill.
- Tulips and daffodils: the bulbs carry the most toxin, but petals and leaves can cause vomiting and drooling.
- Hydrangeas: can cause stomach upset and lethargy if chewed.
- Chrysanthemums: cause vomiting and skin irritation, and are easily mistaken for gerbera.
- Baby's breath, carnations and peonies: milder, usually a brief digestive upset, but common enough in bouquets to be worth watching for.
These flowers are lovely in the right home. If you are not certain whether the recipient has pets, this collection removes the guesswork.

If you would prefer a pet-safe flower arrangement in a vase or basket, message us on WhatsApp and we will do our best to put one together from the same blooms.
How to Choose a Pet-Friendly Bouquet
- If visiting a physical store, tell the florist about the pet. Cats are far more sensitive to lilies and pollen than dogs, so the mention matters.
- Read the flower list, not just the photo. Every product page on this site names its stems. Check it before ordering anything outside this collection for a pet home.
- Check the fillers and foliage. Baby's breath, chrysanthemums and some ferns cause more problems than the headline blooms.
- Think about placement. A high shelf will not stop a cat, but it stops a dog from knocking a vase over. Clear fallen petals as you notice them.
- Non-toxic is not the same as edible. Any plant eaten in quantity can upset the stomach. If a pet chews a bouquet and seems unwell, contact your vet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pet-Safe Flower Bouquets
What flowers are safe for cats?
Roses, sunflowers, gerbera daisies, orchids, lisianthus, asters, freesia and stock are all listed as non-toxic to cats by the ASPCA. Every pet-friendly bouquet at Flowers and Kisses is arranged from these blooms, with wax flower, statice and leatherleaf fern as fillers.
What flowers are safe for dogs?
The same list applies to dogs: roses, sunflowers, gerbera daisies, orchids, lisianthus, asters, freesia and stock. Dogs are more likely than cats to eat a whole flower head, so sunflowers and roses with thorns are best kept out of reach even though neither is toxic.
Which flowers should cat owners avoid?
Lilies first, without exception, as even the pollen can cause kidney failure in cats. Tulips, daffodils, hydrangeas, chrysanthemums, peonies, baby's breath and carnations can all cause vomiting or drooling if chewed. If you are unsure of a stem, keep it out of reach and check the name against the ASPCA list.
Can I order pet-friendly bouquets in Singapore?
Yes. Flowers and Kisses offers a dedicated collection of pet-friendly bouquets in Singapore, made only with blooms that are safe around furry companions. There are eight designs, and we can arrange a pet-safe vase or basket on request.
Is there pet-friendly flower delivery in Singapore?
Yes. Every bouquet in this collection qualifies for free same-day delivery across Singapore when ordered by 3.30PM on weekdays or 12PM on weekends, subject to availability. Delivery windows are the same as for the rest of our range.
How can I choose a safe flower arrangement for a home with pets?
Choose from a collection that names its stems, avoid lilies and tulips entirely, and check the fillers as carefully as the main blooms. Tell your florist which pet lives in the home.
Are all flowers in a pet-friendly bouquet safe for cats and dogs?
Every stem in our pet-friendly bouquets, including fillers and foliage, is on the ASPCA's non-toxic list. Non-toxic means the plant will not poison a pet; it does not mean the bouquet is food. A pet that eats a large amount of any plant can still get a mild stomach upset.
What should I do if my pet chews on a bouquet?
Identify the flower from the product page, remove the bouquet, and watch for vomiting, drooling or lethargy. If the bouquet contains lilies and you have a cat, contact your vet immediately rather than waiting for symptoms. A nibble from our pet-friendly collection is unlikely to cause harm, but call your vet if your pet seems unwell.
