Our Story
Pet Poison Helpline (PPH) is a 24-hour service available throughout North America for pet owners and veterinary professionals who require assistance with treating a potentially poisoned pet. We have the ability to help every pet, with all types of poisonings, 24 hours a day. Our knowledge and expertise will put your mind at ease when dealing with a potential emergency. In order to provide this critical service, please be advised that there is a $59 per incident fee, payable by credit card. This fee covers the initial consultation as well as all follow-up calls associated with the management of the case.
Why do we charge for our services?
Our sole purpose is to ensure that pets stay healthy! Our single goal is to prevent their injury or illness from potential poisonings. To accomplish this, we operate a 24-hour pet poison control center which requires considerable effort, resources, and expense. Unlike public poison control centers in the human sector, our veterinary poison control is not allotted any tax dollars to support our existence. Pet Poison Helpline does not receive any state, federal, or other public funding. If we did not charge, we unfortunately couldnโt exist.
