Check String of Pearls for your dog
Enter your dog's details for a straight answer sized to them.
Why String of Pearls is dangerous
String of Pearls (Senecio rowleyanus) is considered toxic to dogs. ASPCA notes that ingestion can cause stomach upset, especially vomiting, and lethargy.
Signs to watch for
Vomiting, drooling, diarrhea, lethargy, loss of appetite
What to do next
Keep the packaging or take a clear photo of the plant, note what may be missing, and call for case-specific guidance even if your dog looks normal.
A small nibble may cause limited stomach upset, but the amount, your dog's size, and repeated vomiting matter. A missing hanging strand can mean more plant material was eaten than expected.
Can I treat this at home?
Do not induce vomiting or give food, charcoal, or another product unless a veterinarian or poison specialist directs you.
When should I call the vet?
Call your veterinarian or an animal poison control center with the exact product or plant, amount, time, and your dog's weight.
