The ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) is your best resource for any animal poison-related emergency, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.  These veterinary professionals are available when your pet has ingested a potentially poisonous substance such as OTC or prescriptions medications, plants or even other household foods or chemicals.  A consultation fee may apply, but keep in mind, your HomeAgain microchip membership may result in a waived consultation fee.

Pet Poison Helpline

Was your pet just exposed to something harmful?  A second resource would be to call our friend’s at Pet Poison Helpline immediately.  The sooner an exposure or poisoning is addressed, the easier, less expensive and safer it is to treat.
