Pet ate something toxic?
Call your nearest vet or emergency animal hospital now. Don't wait for symptoms. This page only lists general first steps.
What to do while you call
- Move your pet away from the food and remove anything left over.
- Check the packaging: note the product, ingredients (look for xylitol) and how much is missing.
- Note the time it was eaten and your pet's weight.
- Don't make your pet vomit, and don't give milk, oil or salt, unless a vet tells you to.
- If your pet is collapsing, seizing or struggling to breathe, go straight to the nearest emergency vet.
