Summer lake days with your pup can be pure joy, but it's important to know about a hidden danger lurking in some waters. 🌊

Blue-green algae blooms can appear in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers, especially during hot weather. What looks like a fun swimming spot could actually pose a serious risk to your pet's health.

The key signs to watch for: water that looks unusually green, blue, or has a scum-like appearance on the surface. When in doubt, keep your pet out of the water and find a safer spot to cool off.

If you suspect your pet has been exposed to blue-green algae, don't wait - contact us immediately at 800-213-6680. We're here 24/7 to help keep your furry family safe.

🚨Attention Georgia Pet Parents and Veterinary Professionals:

Due to a recently passed Senate Bill 105 in the state of Georgia regarding veterinary teletriage and telemedicine, Pet Poison Helpline will no longer be able to provide risk assessments or treatment guidance to pet parents directly regarding their pet as of July 1st, 2025.

If you are a pet parent, you may choose to start a case by providing basic information regarding your pet and the assessment or concern can be discussed with your veterinarian or you may choose to have your veterinarian contact us directly to start a case. Pet Poison Helpline is still able to provide guidance and support to your veterinarian regarding your pet’s needs.

Fluoride is something that us humans use every day (at least you're supposed to!🙂). Fluoride is absorbed into the enamel of your teeth, which is how it helps to strengthen it. Will it have the same benefits for pets if they think your tube of toothpaste is a toy, though?

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 couldn’t exist.
