Animal Poison Control Centers

If your pet ingests something you know is poisonous, call your veterinarian immediately. If you are not certain whether he has ingested something or you are not certain of its toxicity, call an animal poison center. Frequently your veterinarian will want you to contact an animal poison center so that s/he has detailed information about the toxin and how to treat. There are two main animal poison control centers in the U.S. and you can call either one. Both of these centers charge a one-time fee over the phone which you can charge to your credit card. You sometimes (especially if you are unsure about the product) will save the cost of a veterinary visit by calling the poison center first since occasionally they will tell you that the product or the quantity ingested was not dangerous.
