About ORCHID

'ORCHID' refers to a diverse family of flowering plants known for their beauty and intricate flower structures. Commonly found both in the wild and as cultivated houseplants, orchids are widespread across various habitats. In the context of pets, specifically cats and dogs, orchids are generally considered non-toxic. However, while they are safe for pets, it's always a good idea to keep an eye out for any signs of gastrointestinal upset if a pet ingests any plant material, as individual reactions can vary.
