One of the most common toxins in pets is accidental overdose on veterinary medicine, over-the-counter medications, and human-prescribed medications.

Remember this Fourth of July: If your pet has noise anxiety, DO NOT give them human medications. If a toxic human medication or the wrong dosage is given, your pet may experience severe or fatal symptoms. Instead, talk to your family veterinarian about medications, pheromones, or supplements.

Read the graphic to learn what to do if your pet ever gets into medications, as well as how to prevent any accidental exposures!

Foreign bodies (items your pet ate that they shouldn’t have) are very dangerous to pets. They can cause obstructions, which makes treatment necessary. If you do believe your pet(s) ate something they shouldn’t – bring them in immediately, don’t wait for symptoms to appear! Always call ahead of your arrival!
