Go to a vet now, without using this tool, if…
Your dog is having a seizure, collapsing, struggling to breathe, unsteady on their feet, or already vomiting repeatedly. Do not wait to calculate anything.
My dog ate something — is it an emergency?
Enter what your dog ate, roughly how much, and their weight. You will get a risk level based on published veterinary thresholds, and the exact next step to take.
This is a triage aid, not a diagnosis. It estimates risk from published thresholds and cannot account for your dog’s health history, medications or what else they ate. Poison control and your vet are the people who can. When in doubt, call — both helplines above are open 24/7.
Where the numbers come from: chocolate and analgesic thresholds are from the Merck Veterinary Manual; xylitol and food thresholds from the ASPCA. Grapes and raisins have no established safe dose, so any amount is treated as a reason to call.
