About FERN
FERN refers to a type of non-flowering plant that typically grows in moist, shaded environments like forests. Common fern species found in homes and gardens include the Boston fern and the Asparagus fern. While many ferns are generally non-toxic to cats and dogs, certain types, like the Asparagus fern, can cause gastrointestinal upset or skin irritations if ingested or touched. It’s important to identify the specific fern species and consult with a veterinarian to ensure it is safe for pets.
