How To Help Your Dog If He Swallows Poison

Bernadine D. Cruz. DVM (Companion Animal Medicine Expert, Laguna Hills Animal Hospital ) gives expert video advice on: What do I do if my dog swallows poison?

What do I do if my dog swallows poison?

It's always best to try to keep your dog from ever being exposed to any poisonous objects, but dogs love to eat first and think later, so if you find that your pet has accidentally swallowed some type of poison, then number one: check the label. Is it something of such a nature that you should try to induce you dog to vomit? The most important thing is probably to get your pet to your veterinarian as quickly as possible. If you're in an area where you can't do that right away, make sure that you have the number for the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center by your phone.
