ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center
Pet poisonings are common. Whether your pet has eaten
some freshly baked brownies, taken one of grandpa’s pills, or found
the mouse bait you hid in the garage, the veterinary toxicologists
at the APCC are the people to talk you through it. In the event that
your pet needs emergency treatment, the APCC will work closely with
our veterinarians to determine the extent and type of poisoning,
necessary treatment, and prognosis. The Animal Poison Control Center
can also be reached at (888) 426-4435.
