If Your Pet Eats Something They Shouldn’t Have:
Many household substances, foods, and plants are toxic to pets. Foods that are good for humans, like grapes, macadamia nuts, and avocado, are poisonous to them. If your pet drinks, chews on, or eats something they shouldn’t have, call us or the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center (APCC) emergency line. They have the most accurate information on the countless number of substances toxic to pets. They can be reached at (888) 426-4435 and you can find them online for a library of information about poisonous plants, foods, and other substances. Please contact us for any more information about what you should do in case of a pet emergency. We’re here to keep Zion pets happy and healthy.
