Animal Poison

ASPCA Hayvan Zehir Kontrol Merkezi - Hayvan Zehir App

Did your pet eat chocolate? A poisonous plant? Your medication? There are potential pet poisoning concerns all around us—in our homes, our yards, barns, fields, etc. All too often pets are endangered as a result of their natural curiosity. If you think your pet may have ingested a potentially poisonous substance, contact your local veterinarian or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at 888.426.4435.

Focusing on dogs, cats, horses, and birds, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center’s (APCC) free mobile app helps owners quickly identify over 300 potential everyday hazards, providing crucial information about the severity of the problem and critical next steps.

Information in the app comes from the expert veterinary staff at the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center, which has handled over 2.5 million cases of pets exposed to potentially toxic substances.
