Here is a quick reference guide to the more common house and garden plants and
foods (and other substanced) that are toxic to most all animals. If you have these plants
or foods, you need not dispose of them--just keep them away from your pets (and your
children). Although it is impossible to list all possible poisons, these guidelines may help
you begin to remove or place out of reach most potential problems.
Post close at hand your veterinarian's number, the number of an emergency clinic, and
the number for the National Animal Poison Control Center. Before you call, note the
time your pet was exposed to the toxin, the type of product ingested, the manufacturer's
name and any ingredients you can find listed on packaging. To reach the National
Poison Control Center call (800) 548-2423. If you need to speak to a veterinarian
there, this service will be billed to a credit card. An alternate number is (900) 680-0000.
A veterinarian's services on this line will cost a flat fee for the first five minutes, and an
additional fee per minute for each additional minute. These charges will be billed to
your phone bill. (Call them for current pricing.)
