Celebrate Mother’s Day with pet-friendly flowers that give back
This Mother’s Day, show your appreciation with a gift that’s as beautiful as it is meaningful. The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society has launched a Pet-Friendly Flower Pop-Up Shop on Paws & Give™, featuring gorgeous floral gifts that help animals in need.
We’ve teamed up with a local business to offer carefully selected, pet-conscious flower baskets. With 30% of each sale donated to the Ontario SPCA, your gift helps provide life-changing care for animals across Ontario, bringing joy to people and paws alike.
Blooms that benefit Durham Region
If you’re in Durham Region, you can support local animals through a partnership with Sheridan Nurseries. Vibrant outdoor hanging baskets are available for just $29.99 and are an ideal way to add beauty to porches, patios, or gardens without worrying about curious paws.
Proceeds from each sale will directly benefit the animals at the Humane Society of Durham Region.
Why pet-friendly plants matter
While flowers and plants make thoughtful gifts, not all varieties are safe for our furry friends. Many common houseplants and blooms can be toxic to cats and dogs, causing anything from mild discomfort to serious health issues.
Before buying or gifting plants, take a moment to learn which ones are safe. Read our poisonous plants and flowers blog that covers the most common poisonous plants, prevention tips, and what to do in case of accidental exposure.
