Questions about Pet Poison Helpline

Is Pet Poison Helpline the same as the ASPCA poison line?

Pet Poison Helpline and the ASPCA poison line are separate services. Both are US lines that answer around the clock and charge a fee, and either one, or your own vet, is a reasonable first call.

Does Pet Poison Helpline endorse Danny's Cats?

Pet Poison Helpline does not endorse Danny's Cats. We cite its published advice, and it has not reviewed or approved anything on this site. Each page that quotes Pet Poison Helpline lists the exact document we used in its sources, so you can check the original wording yourself.
