Animal Poison Control Hotlines

I get many messages asking about the danger of animals ingesting various substances. I advise them to call their veterinarian, local emergency animal clinic or an animal poison control hotline IMMEDIATELY.

Do something right now that may save your pet's life: Put a note next to all the phones in your home or office containing those phone numbers.

Here are some USA national numbers:
