## What is Pet Toxic?

Your pet just ate something they shouldn't have. Now what?                                                            
                                                                                                                        
  Pet Toxic gives you fast, reliable answers. Search over 190 substances — foods, plants, medications, household items,
  and more — and instantly see how dangerous they are for your pet. Every entry is color-coded by severity so you know  
  at a glance whether it's a "maybe a problem" situation or a "get to the vet now" emergency.

### 5/5 — Saved me from googling junk

*2026-03-02*

I have a Husky & German shepherd that are active outdoors and have a healthy appetite! We’re constantly around different plants and foods and this app has been tremendously helpful in looking up our environment. I also upgraded to the premium version so that I could better understand the lab work I get for each dog at their annual check ups! I highly recommend this app for dog parents or other pet parents (cat, birds, reptiles).

**Developer response:** Thank you for the review Travelinh! 
I’m glad you’ve found the app useful, along with the Lab Work Guide. We’re always looking for ways to improve the app. Let us know if you’d like to have any additions or other improvements. Our support email can be found in the settings page.

### 5/5 — Very informative for pet owners

*2026-02-20*

If you have any animals (dogs, cats or birds) then I highly recommend you download it.

It’s great to see all of the foods and other items that could be hazardous to your pets. Also it’s organized well and easy to navigate

I really like the Pro features, that way I can be well informed about the dogs’ blood work and other medial terminology. Also no internet connection required is a plus

**Developer response:** Thank you for the kind review. The app was made with pet owners in mind. Please let us know if you’d like to see any improvements. Email us at support@pettoxic.com
