What is the 24-hour vet hotline?

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals provides an Animal Poison Control Center 24-hour hotline. The center can be reached at (888)-426-4435.

Alternatively, a pet owner can find a 24-hour veterinarian hotline by reaching out to local veterinarian hospitals and inquire as to whether the veterinarian provides 24-hour care. Veterinarians who do not provide 24-hour care may work with an emergency clinic in the area, or they may be able to give direction to a local office that does provide this service, the ASPCA advises. Some of the signs that a pet requires emergency treatment include gums turning pale, fainting and heavy panting.
