When should I go to a 24-hour emergency hospital?

Go to a 24-hour emergency hospital right away if your pet is having a seizure, has collapsed, can't breathe well, or is too sleepy to wake. Petfolk Vintage Park is a primary and urgent care clinic, not an emergency hospital. BluePearl Pet Hospital at 1646 Spring Cypress Rd in Spring runs a 24-hour emergency service and asks you to call before you go.

You can also call the ASPCA Animal Poison Control Center at (888) 426-4435 for advice on what your pet ate. The center may charge a fee.

What should I do right now?

Act fast, and don't guess.

1. Move your pet away from whatever it got into.

2. Grab the wrapper, the bottle or a piece of the plant, and take a photo of the label.

3. Guess how much is missing and when it happened.

4. Don't make your pet vomit unless a vet tells you to. Some things do more harm coming back up.

5. Call the clinic on the way.

Our dog consumed chocolate chip cookies and within an hour they were able to assist with him puking up all the cookies and he instantly felt better.

What are the most common poisons for pets?

The most common poisons are foods and medicines already in the house. Watch for:

• Chocolate, especially dark chocolate and baking cocoa

• Grapes and raisins

• Sugar-free gum and candy with xylitol

• Human pain pills, ADHD pills and antidepressants

• Rat and mouse bait

• Lilies, which can harm a cat's kidneys

Young, curious pets find them first. The typical pet seen for a suspected poisoning at Petfolk's Houston-area clinics was about 3 years old, and about 1 in 5 (22%) were puppies or kittens under a year, from October 2025 through September 2026. Across Petfolk, dogs were behind about 3 in 4 suspected poisoning visits (77%).

A Houston yard plant to know

If you have a sago palm in your yard, know this: the ASPCA lists the sago palm as toxic to dogs and cats, and it can cause liver failure. Every part is a risk, and the seeds most of all. If your dog chewed one, call right away, even if your dog seems fine.

How the vet treats a poisoning

Treatment depends on what was eaten and how long ago. The vet may:

• Give medicine to make your pet vomit, if it's safe and early enough

• Start fluids and anti-nausea medicine

• Run blood work in Vintage Park or x-rays in Vintage Park to check organs or look for a swallowed object

At Petfolk's Houston-area clinics, about 1 in 3 suspected poisoning visits (36%) included Cerenia, an anti-nausea medicine, and about 1 in 4 (23%) included fluid therapy. Fear Free, gentle handling keeps a scared pet as calm as possible through all of it.

What does poisoning treatment cost?

A poisoning visit is a sick or urgent exam, which starts at $135 at Petfolk Vintage Park. Medicine, fluids and tests are added based on what your pet ate. You'll get an estimate before any test or treatment. The final bill can differ if the plan changes during the visit.
