What to Do if You Suspect Your Pet Has Eaten Something Toxic
Poison Control Centers:
- ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center: 888-426-4435

Gather any packaging or remains of anything that was eaten or suspected of being eaten! This step will help speed up the diagnosis. Please don’t be shy; if it was marijuana or any other embarrassing (or illicit) product, please be honest with our team; it will speed up diagnosis and treatment.
