What should I do if I think my dog has been poisoned?

If you think your animal has been poisoned by anything, you need to act quickly. Contact your vet as soon as your pet shows signs of being ill.  It’s a good idea to write down the details of anything you think they have ingested, when they ate/drank it, how much they have swallowed and what symptoms they have been experiencing.
