When to contact a veterinarian

If your pet may have ingested a potentially toxic substance, prompt action is important. The type of toxin, amount consumed, time since exposure, and your pet’s species and size can all affect risk. If you are unsure what your pet ate, how much was consumed, or if symptoms are already present, it is safest to contact a veterinarian or pet poison control center right away.
