We are Partners with Poison Helpline™
Bramalea Animal Hospital in Brampton is proud to partner with Pet Poison Helpline™, which has over 30 years of experience and expertise in the management of pets exposed to potentially dangerous substances. PPH is also partnered with the world’s largest industry poison control center to ensure pharmacovigilance and safety for both humans and pets. PPH serves multiple veterinary and human pharmaceutical companies and household goods producers.
What To Do If Your Pet is Poisoned
If your pet just ingested something toxic, calm down! While it’s very stressful, know that the more calm, cool, and collected you are, the sooner you can seek the correct medical attention. First, get a handle on the situation by following these guidelines:
1. Immediately remove your pet from the area, and make sure no other pets (or kids) are exposed to this area. Safely remove any remaining poisonous material from their reach.
2. Check to make sure your pet is breathing normally and acting fine otherwise.
3. Collect a sample of the material, along with the packaging, vial, or container, and save it. You will need all that information when you talk to us at Bramalea Animal Hospital or to a Pet Poison Helpline expert.
4. Do not give your dog any milk, food, salt, oil, or any other home remedies! Also, never induce vomiting without talking to us or Pet Poison Helpline - it may actually be detrimental or contraindicated to induce vomiting!
5. Don’t give hydrogen peroxide to your pet without checking with Bramalea Animal Hospital or Pet Poison Helpline first. For cat lovers, hydrogen peroxide doesn’t work well to induce vomiting (it just causes massive foaming and salivating instead). Stronger veterinary prescription medications are necessary to get your cat to vomit up the poison.
6. Get help. Program our phone number (905-792-2200), the Emergency Veterinary Clinic number (905-495-9907) and Pet Poison Helpline’s phone number (1-800-213-6680) in your cell phone so you have immediate access to help.
Keep in mind that the prognosis is always better when toxicity is reported immediately, so don’t wait to see if your pet becomes symptomatic before calling for help. It’s always less expensive and safer for your pet if you call immediately. Remember that there’s a narrow window of time when we can decontaminate (induce vomiting or pump the stomach) in the cases of poisonings!
