If your dog is in distress right now

Call your veterinarian or the nearest emergency animal hospital immediately. If you can, have the product or plant (and packaging) on hand so you can describe exactly what was eaten.

Not sure what your dog ate or how bad it is?

Search it below for an instant read on severity and next steps.

1. Stay calm and observe

Note what was eaten, roughly how much, and when — this speeds up any call with a vet or poison control.

2. Do not induce vomiting unless told to

Some substances cause more damage coming back up. Only induce vomiting if a vet or poison control instructs you to.

3. Call a professional

Your vet, an emergency animal hospital, or an animal poison control hotline can tell you if this needs immediate care.
