What to do if a dog eats rat poison?
If you suspect your dog has swallowed rodenticide call your vet or, out of hours, your nearest pet emergency service immediately. Rat poisoning in dogs is an emergency that can’t wait until morning.
Your vet will want to know as much information as possible in order to identify the type of poison and decide on the best course of treatment. If you can, take note of the following information to tell the vet:
Your dog’s weight
The day and time of exposure
Brand name and manufacturer
Active ingredients and their concentration
Package size
Approximately how much is missing from the pack
Take the packaging with you if possible
