Mountain Emergency Animal Center

We're pleased to share that Pet Poison Helpline can now resume providing complete, direct service to pet parents in Georgia, including full risk assessments and treatment guidance.

What This Means: Pet parents in Georgia can once again receive full, direct service from our toxicology team—by phone or chat—when their pet has a potential poisoning emergency. Not just case initiation, but comprehensive guidance to help their pet.

Our Commitment Continues: Throughout this transition, our dedication to supporting veterinary professionals across Georgia has remained strong. We're grateful for your partnership and look forward to continuing to serve pets and the veterinarians who care for them.

If you have questions about how this change affects access to our services, please reach out to us at [email protected].
