Spider Plant

Chlorophytum comosum

Generally listed as non-toxic to dogs and cats

Spider plant is commonly used as a pet-friendlier houseplant choice. PawPlants still recommends preventing repeated chewing because any plant material can upset a pet's stomach.

Signs to watch for

Not listed here as a toxic plant; repeated chewing can still cause ordinary stomach upset in some pets.

What to do if your pet ate it

If your pet ate a large amount or seems sick, call your veterinarian. For routine pet-proofing, keep plants from becoming chew toys.
