Poisoned Pet?

Call the Angell Animal Poison Control Hotline at 1-877-2ANGELL. 24 hours a day … veterinary help is just a phone call away!

To help pet caretakers deal with these emergencies, the Angell Animal Medical Center has teamed up with the ASPCA's board-certified veterinary toxicologists to offer a unique 24/7 poison hotline. Help is now just a phone call away.

The hotline is available to anyone - pet owners and veterinarians - regardless of where the pet normally receives care. "To pinpoint the problem, our veterinary professionals will sort through your pet's symptoms and exposure to substances, then advise you what to do," said Dr. Hansen. "We'll help you perform first aid or other treatment, tell you if you need to go to an animal hospital, consult with your veterinarian when you get there, and follow-up with you about your pet's health. We'll do whatever it takes to address the situation."

The team at the other end of the line consists of more than 25 veterinarians - six board-certified animal toxicologists, 20 veterinarians and other professionals specially trained to manage poisonings in animals. They are on standby 24 hours a day, not just during the holidays, but 365 days a year. Please note there is a consultation fee of $60.
