Summary:

Who We Are

The ASPCA Poison Control Center (APC), is the leading animal poison control call center in the nation. The APC’s professional team supports veterinarians and pet owners 24/7 using a proprietary database containing over four million cases. The APC is committed to protecting and improving the lives of animals through promotion of poison prevention and publication of new findings. The APC handles over 400,000 calls annually, providing assistance to hundreds of thousands of pets each year.
