Pet Poison Prevention

List of Toxic Plants and Poisonous Foods for Pets

If your pet is poisoned:

Don’t panic. Rapid response is important, but panicking can interfere with the process of helping your pet.

Take 30 to 60 seconds to safely collect and have at hand any material involved.

If you witness your pet consuming material that you suspect might be toxic, do not hesitate to seek emergency assistance, even if you do not notice any adverse effects.

Call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center. The phone number is 888-426-4435. There is a $55 consultation fee for this service.

If your animal is having seizures, losing consciousness, is unconscious, or is having difficulty breathing, call ahead and bring your pet immediately to your local veterinarian or emergency veterinary clinic. The Grand Valley Veterinary Emergency Center’s phone number is 970-255-1911 and is located at 1660 North Avenue, Grand Junction, CO.
