If you think your pet has eaten something poisonous:
Call us at 202-827-1230 immediately! If after hours, contact the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center’s 24-hour hotline at (888) 426-4435. Trained toxicologists will consider the age and health of your pet, what was ingested, and then make a recommendation about what action should be taken.
For non-emergencies, please schedule an appointment by calling us or scheduling online.
