Animal Poisons line

The VPIS (Veterinary Poisons Information Line) is a 24 hour emergency service providing advice on poisoning of toxic substances of all animals, the VPIS can only be contacted by your vets on your behalf. If your animal has consumed a potentially toxic substance you are welcome to give us a call and we can contact them at the charge of £82.69.

If your animal has consumed a potential toxic substance you can contact APL (Animal Poisons line) 24 hours per day. Your call will be answered by a specialist. The charge for you contacting them starts from £35 8am-8pm Monday to Friday and from £45 at all other times.

Please note there is a difference between the above services. The VPIS will discuss the toxic substance with your vet and advise a treatment plan. APL is a triage only service, they will not discuss a treatment plan with you, APL will advise if the toxic substance your pet has consumed requires veterinary treatment, we may then still need to contact the VPIS.
