Technically no fertilizer is pet safe due to they can overdose on the nutrients NPK when drank or ingested. And if you have them in the house, make sure they don't drip and are in a cupboard. That being said you could stay away from high ratio formula like 20-20-20, 16-16-16, if you were really concerned. But the precautions I've taken were to make sure the product is kept up. And when I fertilized do it in the tub or sink where the cats and dogs couldn't get to because of height or closed off door. And then make sure they drained fully, so that nothing was left in the tray to possibly ingest by licking. I really like this instant plant food. It's like an alka selzter tablet that dissolves in your watering can. It does say it's pet friendly and cruelty free.
