Is my pet okay?
Type what they ate. We'll tell you yes or no — and why.
Guidance only — not a substitute for a veterinarian. In an emergency, call a vet or poison control now.
Almost always a no
- Chocolate, caffeine & xylitol — classic food poisons for pets
- Grapes & raisins — can shut down a dog's kidneys
- Garlic & onion — in any form, including sauces and powder
- Human meds — ibuprofen, acetaminophen (deadly to cats), ADHD & antidepressant pills
- Lilies — true lilies cause fatal kidney failure in cats from a single nibble
- Toads & hammerhead worms — carry potent, fast-acting neurotoxins
- Sago palm, azalea, oleander, bulbs — common but seriously toxic plants
Add your pet's weight and how much they had, and we'll estimate the actual dose and compare it to known toxic thresholds — for chocolate, caffeine, xylitol, alcohol, and common medications.
Please read — this is not veterinary advice
This tool gives general, educational information to help you decide how urgently to act. It is not a diagnosis and not a substitute for a veterinarian. We can be wrong, incomplete, or out of date.
- Dose estimates are approximations. Product strengths, recipes, and concentrations vary enormously (chocolate cacao %, pill/patch strengths, alcohol content), and every animal reacts differently. Never treat a "below threshold" result as a guarantee of safety.
- When in doubt, assume the worst and call a professional. Many poisonings (onion, grapes, antifreeze, vitamin D, rat poison) have delayed symptoms — don't wait for your pet to look sick.
- Never induce vomiting or give any medication unless a vet or poison-control expert tells you to.
- Have the product/packaging, your pet's weight, and the time and amount eaten ready when you call.
