My pet ate something dangerous.

Do not wait for symptoms. Do not induce vomiting unless a professional tells you to. Call — minutes matter with xylitol, grapes, cooked bones, yeast dough and moldy food.

What to have ready when you call

What exactly was eaten (bring the packaging or a photo)
How much, and roughly when
Your pet's species, breed, weight and age
Any symptoms so far, and when they started

What NOT to do

Do not wait for symptoms — several toxins act before signs appear
Do not induce vomiting without professional instruction (bones, caustics, and seizures make it dangerous)
Do not give milk, salt, oil, or home remedies — they add risk
Do not "watch and wait" for grapes/raisins, xylitol, cooked bones, yeast dough, hops, moldy food, onions or garlic
