  1. Thanks for spreading the word on pet safety! I wanted to also make you aware of another animal poison control helpline: Pet Poison Helpline. We're $35/case vs. ASPCA's $60/case and offer similar services. You can also find our list of poisonous plants (along with pictures for identification purposes) at our website: www.petpoisonhelpline.com
