If you think your pet has eaten something
Call us straight away, even if your pet seems fine. Don’t try to make them sick unless a vet tells you to. Bring the packaging with you if you can — it helps us know what they’ve had.
This article is general guidance, not a diagnosis. If you’re worried about your pet, please call the practice.
