Ornamental plant

When an ingredient for dog food is described as "is an ornamental plant", it means that this ingredient comes from a plant that is usually grown for its appearance and not for its nutritional value. Ornamental plants are plants that are used for decorative purposes in gardens, interiors or landscapes, such as flowers, some shrubs and decorative grasses.

It is unusual to find ornamental plants as ingredients in dog food, as they are not usually intended for consumption by animals or humans. Some ornamental plants can even be poisonous to dogs. If an ornamental plant is used as an ingredient in dog food, it is important to make sure that this plant is safe and non-toxic for your dog.

If you come across a dog food that contains an ornamental plant as an ingredient, you should carefully research and verify that this plant is safe for dogs.
