Animal Poison
Focusing on dogs, cats, horses, and birds, the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center’s (APCC) free mobile app helps owners quickly identify over 300 potential everyday hazards, providing crucial information about the severity of the problem and critical next steps.
Information in the app comes from the expert veterinary staff at the ASPCA’s Animal Poison Control Center, which has handled over 2.5 million cases of pets exposed to potentially toxic substances.
Animal Poison App Features:
- A searchable database of hundreds of different substances including: household hazards, medications, warm weather toxins, and cold weather toxins commonly found in or around an animal’s surroundings.
- Details for each toxin including: scientific name, common names, sample images, severity of exposure, and potential symptoms for at-risk dogs, cats, horses, and birds
- Color-coding to help you identify the toxins of most concern
- Chocolate and rodenticide poison calculators
- One-touch speed-dialing to the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center
- Online and offline access to app information
- Access to APCC online resources
- Information about APCC podcasts, speaking engagements, and other events
Please note that the information located in the app is not meant to be all-inclusive, but rather a compilation of the most frequently encountered toxins.

Sign in? Create an account? Call now if it is an emergency? What about allowing an individual to browse to see if the information one seeks is there? I guess the demands for data supercedes anything else. Uninstalled.
Poorly optimized for modern devices, on my Galaxy S10, everytime I try to hit the top bar it breaks down my notifications.
Cannot create an account, cannot log in - USELESS! Good thing I decided to check it out BEFORE I had an emergency. USELESS!
My app is not correcting my spelling? If if I relaunch will I loose all of my texts? This was my favorite app. What is going on? Can you help me?
For plant lovers like myself this app is a great way to check to see what plants are dangerous to my pets before I buy them!
Will not let you create an account. Do not even bother trying to download the app
Kick me when I'm down! You want to charge me $75 just to talk to me about the pills my dog got into? I was already an aspca supporter (financial) and now try to charge me for this? No wonder so many people struggle with pet expenses and get forced to surrender!!! Iamashamed and shocked and the app didnt even list the prescription drug my dog got into. Luckily he was showing no symptoms and the internet was way more helpful then the freaking ASPCA! Time to support a new animal charity!!!
Can't create an account with Facebook or Google
Needs you set up an account
If it was an emergency it would be nice to keep the call option, but I don't think it would be necessary to actually sign in if it was any real emergency. If a person would like to know if their pets are safe and out of any real danger this is helpful, sure, but to regularly sign in just to check if our pets are safe while we are rushing? What kind of a joke is that? If this was a life or death situation and we still need to sign in while we are trying to rush with getting info of whether or not our pet isn't in any real danger, no offense, but that's just completely ridiculous. I love the idea of this app, I truly do, but this still needs a ton of work.
Very informative and easy to use
confused as to why i need an account to use this after creating an account and seeing what the app does. this makes no sense, there should be an option to continue as a guest to get information as quickly as possible. additionally, the app is essentially just an engine to drive calls to the aspca poison control center and is not practically useful.
