Animal Poison Control Centers by Country
Keep this list of specialist animal poison control centers handy, as it may be useful should your cat have a life-threatening toxic reaction.
CatInfo.net recommends first phoning your local vet if you suspect your cat has been poisoned, or you suspect a life-threatening toxic reaction.
If your regular vet is closed, phone your local emergency vet. You can write your regular and emergency vet in the table below using the two blank rows. Print out the table, write in details for your regular and emergency vet, and keep it somewhere handy.
If the reaction is so severe you need to act immediately, an online or phone service may prove invaluable. These services could help you to provide life-saving treatment to your cat.
It pays to save the following information now when you’re not in a state of panic.
Have this information on your phone, fridge, and/or anywhere else you keep important contact information.
- Your regular vet
- The local emergency vet
- The local pet ambulance service
- The local animal poison control center
- And online interactive animal poison service
We recommend searching for a local state or city animal poison advice helpline.
An area’s local agency is often better informed about toxic plants and other hazards in its catchment area. As a result, your local agency is better able to connect you to animal emergency services.
