Is it an emergency?
What to do if your pet is poisoned:
- Remove your pet from the area.

- Do NOT give any home antidotes.
- Do NOT induce vomiting without consulting a vet or Pet Poison Helpline®.
- Call Pet Poison Helpline® at 855-764-7661.
- If veterinary attention is necessary, contact your veterinarian or emergency veterinary clinic immediately.
Was your pet just exposed to something harmful? Call your veterinarian or Pet Poison Helpline® immediately. The sooner an exposure or poisoning is addressed, the easier, less expensive, and safer it is to treat.
