If you think your dog has eaten something toxic, follow these steps:
1. Contact your vet, emergency vet, or the Pet Poison Helpline (855-764-7661) for accurate advice.
2. Try to identify the plant by taking a sample, a photo, or by collecting any vomit in a plastic bag.
3. When you reach the vet or helpline, provide as much information as possible, including: the suspected plant and the time of ingestion, your dogโs weight, and any symptoms your dog is showing.
4. Under no circumstances should you induce vomiting unless instructed to do so by the vet. Specific plant poisons require specific treatments, and vomiting can make some cases worse.
5. Donโt fall for the myth that dogs instinctively avoid dangerous plants. While itโs sometimes true of animals in the wild, dogs have no ability to distinguish between safe and unsafe plants.
Dr. Jerry Klein, Chief Veterinary Officer for the American Kennel Club, emphasizes that prevention is the best approach. He advises pet owners to regularly inspect their yards for potentially harmful plants and take steps to keep dogs away from them. In some cases, you may need to hire a landscaper to remove persistent or invasive plants. If you suspect your dog has eaten something toxic, donโt waitโcontact a vet right away. โOne of the biggest mistakes pet owners make is waiting for symptoms to appear before calling the vet,โ Dr. Klein warns.
