No safety score or dosing recommendation is generated. Contact a veterinarian promptly for suspected toxic ingestion or a concerning reaction.

01

Name the form without assuming equivalence

Write a generic description such as dried material in a toy, labeled spray or plant of uncertain identity. Do not use a common name alone to identify an unknown plant. ASPCA identifies its catnip entry as Nepeta cataria, also called catswort or catmint. A similar-looking plant or a familiar label is not botanical confirmation.

02

Keep packaging information available

Keep the original package and its ingredient list available to your veterinary team when asking about a product. Use this page only for nonpersonal question prompts. It cannot read a label, test a batch, verify concentration or check whether a product is suitable for a particular animal. Do not enter a private account, order or medical record here.

03

Turn a missing detail into a question

A fictional example: a toy says contains catnip, but the buyer does not know the filling or how the toy should be used. The useful next step is asking the manufacturer for current product information and the veterinary team about the cat. The missing detail is not proof of danger, but it is not a verified answer either.

04

No dose appears at the end

The card never calculates an amount or tells you to offer the product. It does not save, send or contact a business. Reload clears the entries. If you are concerned about an actual exposure, leave the tool and contact the appropriate veterinary service promptly, with the original product information available.
