FAQ
Plant identity, the part eaten, amount, and your dog's size matter. Do not assume a plant is safe because a small taste caused no immediate signs.
Prevent further exposure. Do not induce vomiting or give a home remedy unless a veterinarian or poison-control professional directs you to do so.
Call promptly for an unknown or meaningful exposure, a chewed container, repeated vomiting, weakness, tremors, collapse, breathing changes, or severe mouth irritation.
