Pets and poisons – keeping your animal safe
Our popular Pets and Poisons leaflet has been updated and is now available.
Produced in conjunction with the Veterinary Poisons Information Service (VPIS) the leaflet provides a valuable and easy reference guide for owners on preventing poisoning in the home, in the garden or in open spaces along with advice on what to do if you think your animal has been poisoned.
