There are many good articles and general information on this site. There are lists of toxic plants, foods, etc. I'll post again on toxic plants to give some more specifics.

Keep their phone number handy. If your pet ever ingests something and you're not sure if it's toxic, you can first call your veterinarian, but if there's any question - call APCC right away and they can save you a lot of time and money. They'll help you by 1) telling you if it's even a big deal and 2) if it is a big deal, they can tell your veterinarian how to effectively treat the issue and that will help save you lots of money in the long run.

There is a $60 fee charged to your credit card, but it's worth every penny!

They will give you a case number to take to your veterinarinan, so keep the number handy.
