Roamin the cat earned his name by exploring everything he wasn't supposed to. When he dug into the trash and ate two White Castle™ sliders loaded with onions, his family thought he seemed fine, until he wasn't.

Onion toxicity is especially dangerous because signs often don't appear until several days after ingestion. By the time Roamin showed pale gums and lethargy, his red blood cell count was critically low.

Swipe through to learn what happened, why onions are so dangerous for cats, and how Michael's persistence brought Roamin home.

Before you fire up the grill this July 4th, take a look at what's on the table. The spice rub, the potato salad, the sugar-free ketchup. Some of the most familiar cookout staples are ones your dog shouldn't get into.

Onions, garlic, chives, and other Allium species are toxic to dogs in all forms, including powdered and cooked, and show up throughout the cookout spread in ways that are easy to miss. Alcohol is another serious one, and spilled drinks and unattended cups are more accessible to dogs than most people realize. Sugar-free condiments and drink mixes may also contain xylitol.

If your dog gets into something off the table this holiday weekend, call or chat with our expert team at 800-213-6680.

Sunscreen is a summer staple, but your pet may have more access to it than you realize.

Pets can ingest human sunscreen by licking it off your skin, nosing through a beach bag, or having it applied directly to their haircoat or skin. Human formulas aren't safe for pets, so if sun protection is needed, look for a pet-safe formula free from zinc oxide and salicylates.

If your pet got into sunscreen, call or chat with our expert team at 800-213-6680.

That backyard pond or neighborhood lake might look harmless, but warm, slow-moving water can hide real dangers for pets this time of year.

Blue-green algae is actually not algae, but cyanobacteria: a type of bacteria that thrives in stagnant water during hot weather and can produce potentially fatal toxins. Any exposure, regardless of amount, should be considered a toxic exposure. Liver failure, neurologic signs, and skin damage can all occur, and signs can develop in a very short amount of time.

When in doubt, keep your pet out. If you think your pet was exposed, call or chat with our expert team at 800-213-6680.

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.

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.
