Common checks
If your dog has eaten something toxic.
- Don't wait for symptoms. Many poisonings are far easier to treat if caught in the first 1–2 hours.
- Don't induce vomiting at home unless a vet tells you to — some substances cause more damage coming back up.
- Bag the packet. Take the wrapper, bottle, or a sample — your vet needs to know the exact product and dose.
- Call before you drive. The vet can prep emergency treatment and may direct you to the nearest out-of-hours clinic.
This tool is not a substitute for veterinary advice. When in doubt, call your vet or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control — the call fee is far cheaper than treatment for a missed case.
