As temperatures drop, rodents start looking for a way indoors, and so do the poisons meant to keep them out. Here's the catch: whatever makes rodenticide appealing to a mouse or rat often makes it appealing to pets too, so accidental ingestion is more common than people think.
There's also a secondary risk: a pet that catches and eats a rodent that's ingested poison but hasn't succumbed yet can become poisoned themselves, even if they never touched the bait directly.
If you ever suspect your pet got into some (directly or otherwise), don't wait it out, call us or an emergency clinic right away.
