Some research shows that Senecio rowleyanus can cause digestive distress if consumed, so to be on the safe side, we do not consider any Senecio pet-safe. But at the link below you will find all of our pet-safe, trailing succulents that can grow indoors. Some will require lots of sun to trail indoors, but String of Turtles and Portulacaria afra can handle lower light.
