It has the most thorough selection & is User Friendly. Thank you PupTox. I have two GSD’s, one very expensive Working Eastern line. I rely on your App to help me keep my babies safe & you do the job well. Thank you. I highly recommend this app to anyone whom owns a Working Dog or pet (covers cats too). ### 1/5 — Do not waste your money! *2016-12-02* This app offers very limited info, their lists of toxic stuff are ridiculously short. Get Red Cross app for free and you will get much more. ### 5/5 — Great! *2012-11-17* Thanks! ### 1/5 — Boo! Doesn *2011-05-25* I upgraded from an AT&T iPhone to a Verizon iPhone and this app won't install because it thinks it requires iOS 4.3 and the Verizon iOS version is 4.2.8. No other apps (out of about 500 installed on my iPhone) have this problem. What could possibly be in 4.3 that isn't in 4.2.8? ### 2/5 — Questionable info *2011-03-14* It's ....okay. Some of the various substances Puptox labels as poisons, dogs have eaten all through history. What's the scholarly veterinary source of this info? I only paid 99 cents but I don't think it was worth it. ### 5/5 — Decent app *2011-03-03* Thankfully I haven't had to use the app for anything real - but it's got a decent user interface and it is kept up to date - and it's nice knowing I have it handy in case I need it. ### 5/5 — Handy reference. *2009-12-01* This is a great little application to quickly find basic information on what can be harmful to our furry little friends. A wonderful addition to any iPhone or iPod touch! ### 5/5 — puptox rox *2009-09-21* This is a fantastic handy little program that I use everytime one of my furry little friends eats something they're not supposed to. Definitely a must have for all doggie owners. ### 5/5 — Puptox *2009-08-30* Puptox is great! A very useful tool to keep our pets safe. ### 4/5 — Very helpful *2009-08-20* Had a bit of trouble loading app at first. Tried every trick in the book & would still quit. Started working on it's own today when I needed it most! Very helpful app. I am a receptionist in a vets office, great for quick reference! ## Frequently asked questions about PupTox ### What is PupTox?
