PET POISONING
ASPCA PET POISON HOTLINE (888) 426-4435 (24hrs/day, 365 days a year)
-One of the most common poisons pets encounter, are human medications.  Hence it is best to open those vials in a separate room with a closed door to avoid dropping one and the pet running over and ingesting it before you can get to it.
-Another issue is flavoured medications for pets.  Those need to be kept out of reach to avoid them chewing through the pill vial. 
-Common poisons in pets include various types of rat poisons, automobile antifreeze, snail bait, grapes/raisins, chocolate, edibles laced with drugs, xylitol gum/toothpaste or in food, Lilies and many more.
-The best course of action is to call the ASPCA Pet Poison Hotline.  Since their existence, knowledge on pet toxicities and their treatment has skyrocketed.  For a small fee, you can find out how toxic the product your pet has ingested given the size and what action to take. They provide a detailed treatment protocol to be sent to the veterinarian and they provide follow up consultation until the case is resolved and closed. Their number is  (888) 426-4435- open 24 hours a day 365 days a year.
