Duck Duck's owner found him chewing on a Cymbalta capsule that had fallen on the floor. With an hour-long drive to the nearest emergency hospital, every minute counted. One call to Pet Poison Helpline gave the family a treatment plan before they even arrived.

When they walked through the door, the team was ready.

Duck Duck made a full recovery and is home causing trouble again. If your pet gets into human medications, call or chat with us at 800-213-6680.

A curious dog and a backyard mushroom are a combination worth knowing about. Some are harmless. Some can cause liver failure. And almost none can be reliably identified without a mycologist.

That's the challenge: you rarely know what you're dealing with, and signs can appear anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours after ingestion. Treat every unidentified mushroom ingestion as a potential emergency.

Call or chat with our expert team at 800-213-6680, available 24/7.

River's owner knew castor bean plants were dangerous — so she kept them in the front yard, away from her Dutch Shepherd. What she didn't account for was a single dried seed pod falling off a shelf.

By the time her family realized what happened, more than 21 hours had passed. River made a full recovery thanks to aggressive care across two hospitals and our expert team working alongside her veterinary team.

If your pet gets into a plant, don't wait for symptoms. Call or chat with us at 800-213-6680.

Easter brings some of the most common pet poison calls of the year, and many of the hazards are easy to overlook. Chocolate and xylitol-containing candies top the list for dogs, while Lilium species lilies are one of the most dangerous plants for cats.

Spring flowers like tulips, daffodils, amaryllis, and azaleas add to the risk, and even Easter grass can become a serious hazard if swallowed. A little preparation before the holiday makes a big difference.

If your pet gets into something potentially toxic, the most important thing you can do is act quickly. Many toxins cause delayed effects, so acting even before symptoms appear is always the right call.

Move your pet away from the source, gather the product information if you can, and call or chat with our expert team right away. Do not attempt to induce vomiting without guidance — some substances cause more harm if vomited.

Our veterinary professionals are available 24/7. Call or chat with us at 800-213-6680.

March Madness is here, and we're sharing the Elite Eight of pet owner fouls — the honest mistakes even the most devoted pet parents make.

From storing medications in the same spot as your pet's to leaving an unattended drink on the coffee table, accidental poisonings often happen in the most familiar places at home. Moldy trash, unsecured cleaners, and rodenticide bait stations are among the most common culprits our expert team hears about.

Swipe through all eight fouls and save this post for reference. If your pet gets into something they shouldn't, call or chat with us at 800-213-6680.

AKC Reunite helps make sure your cat can always find their way home. Pet Poison Helpline helps make sure they're safe when they get there. This Pet Poison Prevention Month, we're partnering to share one of the most important things every cat owner should know.

Lilium and Hemerocallis species — including Easter, tiger, Oriental, stargazer, Asiatic, and daylilies — cause acute kidney failure in cats. Every part is toxic: leaves, petals, pollen, and even the water in the vase. Less than one petal can be life-threatening, and a delay in treatment often results in irreversible kidney failure.

Together with AKC Reunite, we're committed to keeping your cat safe at every step. If your cat has been near any of these flowers, don't wait for symptoms. Call or chat with us at 800-213-6680.
