Why preparedness matters

Dog poisoning in South Africa: the risk is real and time is critical.

South African dogs face deliberate and accidental poisoning from rat bait, household chemicals, human medicines, and toxic plants. Emergency veterinary care can be 20-40 minutes away. In that window, knowing what to do, and having the right tools ready, makes a measurable difference.

  • Clear steps reduce panic and errors under pressure.
  • Activated charcoal helps reduce toxin absorption while you travel to the vet.
  • Structured vet handover information saves critical time on arrival.

How It Works

Two clear steps for dog poisoning first-response care.

1

Contact Your Vet With Key Details

Use the included handover sheet to record what your dog ingested, when, and the steps you've taken. Your vet gets the information they need the moment you arrive.

2

Administer Activated Charcoal

Follow the included weight-banded guide to administer the pre-measured charcoal solution, which helps reduce toxin absorption while you make your way to the vet.

Always contact a veterinarian immediately. PawShield supports first-response care — it does not replace professional treatment.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about using PawShield responsibly and effectively.

Is PawShield a replacement for a veterinarian?
No. PawShield supports first-response actions only. Always contact a veterinarian as soon as possible. The kit is designed to help you act while you are on your way to professional care, not instead of it.
What does the kit contain?
Each kit contains pre-measured activated charcoal, a size-appropriate administration syringe, surgical gloves, a mixing spoon, a resealable sample bag for collecting suspected toxin or vomit, and a printed instruction guide. Kits are sized for small (under 10kg), medium (10–25kg), and large dogs (over 25kg).
Is activated charcoal safe for all poisons?
Activated charcoal is effective for many common toxins but does not bind all substances and it has limited effectiveness against ethanol and certain heavy metals, for example. Always follow your vet's guidance.
Which kit size should I get?
Choose based on your dog's weight. Small kits are for dogs under 10kg, medium for 10-25kg, and large for dogs over 25kg. If your dog is close to a boundary weight, choose the larger size.
What is the shelf life of the kit?
We recommend replacing your kit every 12 months. Activated charcoal can lose effectiveness over time as it absorbs moisture and atmospheric gases, and syringe integrity should be maintained. Check your kit periodically and replace if any components appear compromised.
Do you ship across South Africa?
