Yes. The ASPCA classifies garden nasturtium in the genus Tropaeolum as non-toxic to dogs, cats, and horses. Whirlybird is officially identified as Tropaeolum minus, so toxicity is marked FALSE and pet friendly is marked TRUE. Do not confuse it with watercress, which is sometimes called nasturtium in English. Even a non-toxic plant may cause digestive discomfort when an animal consumes a large amount. Fertilizers, pesticides, and growing media also carry their own risks. Keep seed packets and treated plants out of reach. If a pet consumes a substantial amount or develops symptoms, contact a veterinarian and provide the name Tropaeolum along with the products applied during cultivation. Pet-friendly status describes the plant itself, not every substance used around it.
