Pet Poisoning One of the most common and tragic pet emergencies is accidental poisoning. If your pet is experiencing poisoning symptoms, including vomiting, drooling or seizures, immediately take your pet to the nearest emergency vet clinic. Even in small amounts, exposure to chocolate, rodenticide, household cleaners, household plants, and even toiletries can be fatal. Pets are naturally curious, so help prevent poisoning by keeping cleaning supplies, medications, fertilizers and antifreeze locked away from your pet. In the event of an accidental poisoning, prompt veterinary medical care can make all the difference.
