Spider Plant is generally considered safe for both dogs and cats. As with any food or plant, moderation is sensible and individual animals may react differently.
The ASPCA lists spider plant (Chlorophytum comosum) as non-toxic to dogs and cats, which makes it a good choice for a pet-friendly home. Cats in particular love chewing its arching, grass-like leaves. Eating a lot of any plant can still cause a mild stomach upset, and a plant may have been treated with fertiliser or pesticide, so it's best to discourage heavy chewing.
Usually none. A pet that eats a lot may vomit or have mild diarrhoea, which should pass within a day.
No treatment is normally needed. Make sure your pet has fresh water, and call your vet only if vomiting or diarrhoea lasts more than a day or your pet seems unwell. If the plant was recently treated with fertiliser or pesticide, check that product's label and call your vet or a pet poison helpline.
