Are Spider Plants Poisonous to Cats and Dogs?


Bottom line up front: Spider Plants are NOT toxic to cats and dogs.  According to the ASPCA chlorophytum is classified as non toxic to cats and dogs.  Link at bottom.  If anyone is going to error on the side of safety for cats and dogs, it will be the ASPCA. 

So this guy is safe.  In fact, as a housecat he craves greens and will eat spider plants in place of grass.  Because the house cat is unable to digest the vegetation of the spider plant, he uses it to help vomit fur balls and act as a laxative to clear all of the inedible things he eats.  He gives you a haughty look when accused, but you are pretty sure I wasn't you that chewed the corner off the mail, dug the chicken bones out of the trash and gnawed on the gift ribbon (right before taking it to a party).
