If you accidentally added a toxic substance to your pet's food, it is important to act quickly and call a veterinarian immediately. Depending on the type of substance you added, treatment may include inducing vomiting, administering medications to stop the absorption of the poisonous substances and provide symptomatic care. Always ask a medical professional for further advice as each case may vary.

If you suspect that your pet has ingested a toxic substance, immediately contact your local poison control center or veterinary clinic. Do not induce vomiting unless specifically instructed to by a veterinarian. Be sure to provide as many details about the substance and quantity consumed as possible. In addition, try giving your pet some activated charcoal or syrup of ipecac to reduce the amount absorbed in the stomach. Keep track of how long it's been since consumption and provide updates if necessary.
