If you suspect your pet has ingested any of these items or any other questionable substance, call Pet Poison Helpline or your veterinarian for assistance. Accurate and timely identification of the suspected substance is very important. Having the container, package, or label in hand will save valuable time and may save the life of your pet.  Make sure that your pet is breathing normally and do NOT give them any home remedies such as milk, food, sat or oil to induce vomiting without consulting with a veterinarian.  Sometimes inducing vomiting can be contraindicated.  If you can, try to get a sample of what your pet consumed the package or container and keep this to show to the Vet.
