Common questions

Is grape ivy the same as grapes?

No. Grape ivy is a member of the grape family but is a foliage vine, not a fruiting grape. The fruit danger that applies to actual grapes (toxic to dogs) does not come from this harmless houseplant.

Can my cat chew grape ivy safely?

Yes. Occasional nibbling is harmless; offer cat grass if the chewing becomes a habit.
