Our beloved pets are curious by nature. This curiosity, paired with their tendency to explore the world with their mouths, makes them vulnerable to accidents.

Join us on Wednesday, April 22 at 6:00 PM ET on Zoom as Dr. Renee Schmid, Director of Veterinary Medicine and Senior Veterinary Toxicologist at Pet Poison Helpline, discusses poisoning risks for pets.

She will cover both common toxins and lesser-known hazards, review signs of exposure, and share practical guidance on what to do if your pet gets into something concerning.
