Call immediately for any edible exposure

Call your veterinarian or a pet poison hotline immediately for any marijuana edible exposure.

The dose may be hidden

A small piece can still contain a concentrated dose, and packaging may not be clear after a pet chews it.

Ingredients stack risk

Chocolate, xylitol, butter, and sugar can add separate problems on top of THC exposure.

Call with product details

  • Remove the edible and prevent more access.
  • Call with your cat's weight, the product type, dose if known, ingredients, and the time eaten.

Avoid every edible form

  • Gummies, brownies, cookies, chocolates, candies, oils, butter, tinctures, and any edible with unknown THC or CBD content.
  • Waiting for symptoms or trying home treatment before calling.

Watch

  • Sleepiness, wobbliness, agitation, drooling, vomiting, low body temperature, slow heart rate, tremors, urinary accidents, or collapse.

Portion

No safe portion. Dose, ingredients, and cat size all matter, so call instead of estimating at home.
