Poisoning

Poisoning is much easier to prevent than to treat. And it never has to happen in the first place. Just remember:

Never feed your dog chocolate.

Always consult the veterinarian before giving your dog any over the counter medicine.

Prevent your dog from gaining access to rat poison, other rodenticides, and household insecticides.

Read and follow herbicide (weed or grass killer) instructions regarding the length of time pets must be kept away from treated areas.

If you suspect your dog has ingested a poisonous substance, call your veterinarian immediately.
